He also called for a strike on the US embassy in Kyiv over the supply of MLRS to Ukraine.
“This (supply of HIMARS – UP) once again highlights the step-by-step movement towards World War III by the United States. It should be understood that we must react harshly. In my opinion, the reaction today should also apply to those countries that supply weapons (to Ukraine – UP). And this isn’t just about destroying infrastructure or anything, but I think the main decision-making centre is the US embassy. I think that sooner or later it will become a target for the Russian Armed Forces, the national police of the “DPR” and “LPR”.”
A Russian lawmaker has called for the destruction of the government quarter in Kyiv.
“My position is that the government quarter in Kyiv should be destroyed, and the relevant locations should be destroyed. Yes, this work is being done by the Ministry of Defense of Russia, but it is necessary to launch more massive strikes. We will not simply look at this outrage. When they hit one cheek, we won’t turn the other.”
