The statement of the State Duma of the Russian Federation is evidence of inadequate aggressiveness and cowardice of the Russian political elite. This was stated by Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov in the comment.

According to him, in Ukraine there is not a single exacerbation of the situation to which Russian deputies refer in their statement.. “There is only an autumn aggravation in the heads of the Russian military-political leadership,” said Turchinov..

The secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine noted that our state fulfills all the international obligations assumed, and really became the vanguard of confrontation "on all possible fronts and directions" of Russian aggression.

"Cowardly hiding behind their nuclear potential, which Putin once again threatened today, promising to destroy the civilized world, Russian deputies turned to direct threats to Ukraine, but these threats cause not fear, but contempt for their authors," he said.

According to Turchinov, one of the reasons for the next wave of "wailing and threats to the Russian political elite is the collapse of hopes for a possible political victory for revanchist political forces in the presidential and parliamentary elections in Ukraine".

“Our state is ready to resist Russian aggression and protect its right to be a free, independent and European country!”, Concluded the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.
