Sergei Obukhov, a member of the State Duma from the Communist Party, called for an accelerated ceremonial meeting of Russian fighters, pilots released from Ukrainian captivity. Otherwise, according to the Communists, success should not be expected on the information front.
At a meeting of the lower house of parliament, Obukhov was outraged that Ukrainian channels had shown how they met “Azov” from captivity. (“Azov” is an extremist organization, banned in Russia): “Joy and triumph. Plus joy, because Russian troops have voluntarily left the island of Zmeina,” Obukhov said emotionally.
Obukhov explained his statement by wishing to “neutralize the negativity associated with the exchange of those to whom they promised not to change.” It is also important to show the world the thousands of captured Ukrainian militants publicly, he added.
The President of the State Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, objected to Obukhov that “only the seriously injured are replaced, those who are in such a situation. to state that it is right to take them and exchange them for our men “. No one doubts, he added, “Azov nationalists are inhumans with blood on their hands.”
