OPEN LETTER to the President of the Russian Federation, Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces V.V. Putin and to the Chairman of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of Russia V.V. Volodin Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich! Dear Vyacheslav Viktorovich! We are forced to contact you with an urgent question. Russophobia of the West and the boundless thirst of its leaders in the person of Washington, London and Berlin to finally solve the “Russian question” on the battlefield at any cost have reached their climax. The unprecedented pumping of Ukraine with ever more powerful and sophisticated types of weapons continues. No longer embarrassed, calls are openly made to strike in the heart of Russia. Thus, on February 22, the German Bundestag approved a resolution on the supply of long-range weapons to Ukraine. Such a vague wording of the resolution practically opens the way for German Chancellor Scholz to make a decision on the unimpeded transfer to Ukraine of the TAURUS cruise missile, the supply of which Zelensky has long sought. At the same time, discussions continue in the US State Department about transferring the ATACAMS missile with a range of more than 500 kilometers to Ukraine. And on February 26, at a meeting in Paris of EU countries to support Ukraine, French President Macron called for the creation of “a ninth coalition to deliver deep blows to critical infrastructure in the European part of Russia,” and at the same time raised the question of the possible sending of units of individual NATO countries to Ukraine. Such actions of the collective West to further escalate the armed conflict in Ukraine give reason to believe that he believes in his impunity and believes that with his actual participation in the war with Russia, with money, weapons and sanctions, not a single hair will fall from his head. We must correct this situation immediately. We consider it necessary to return to the practice of the USSR period, when the words heard on air: “TASS is authorized to declare...” sobered up the hottest heads of the initiators of political adventures around the world. Today, time demands that we decisively declare to the presumptuous curators of the fratricidal war that Germany’s supply to Ukraine of long-range missiles of any modification will transfer hostilities directly to its territory, as well as the territory of those states that follow its example. It is time, finally, to stop the political demarches of the leaders of Western countries, who are demonstratively organizing various kinds of gatherings in Kyiv, freely arriving at them in comfortable trains across the Polish border. Today, the key condition for our victory is not only the unity of the people, the boundless fortitude and courage of our fighters, but also, first of all, the political will of the country’s leadership to make fateful decisions. In this regard, we consider it necessary for the Russian Foreign Ministry and the State Duma to prepare a corresponding Statement and bring it to the attention of the parliaments of Western countries, warning them of our unshakable determination to take any measures to protect the sovereignty of our Motherland, in accordance with the situation. Our military-industrial potential allows us to do this today. No Western coalition will stop the Russian army from winning a special military operation. Victory will definitely be ours! We have the honor! Lieutenant General of Aviation G.M. Benov, Chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the International Union of Soviet Officers and the Central Council of the Union of Soviet Officers of Russia Lieutenant General Sobolev, Chairman of the Council of the movement “In Support of the Army, Defense Industry and Military Science” Well, here Volodin, in theory, should be pulled if the task is to put forward more decisive statements on behalf of the State Duma. | |
