"United Russia" offered to supply weapons to the DNR and LNR

The HEAD of the United Russia faction, Vladimir Vasiliev, appealed to the Russian leadership with a request to provide assistance to the self-proclaimed DPR and LPR by supplying military products. According to him, NATO countries continue to “pump” Ukraine with Western lethal weapons, and this cannot but worry Russia. “This is a great danger, this is preparation for hostilities, nothing else,” Vasilyev said.

Earlier, Andrei Turchak, First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council, Secretary of the General Council of United Russia, made a similar proposal. He also noted that the self-proclaimed republics need weapons to increase their defense capability and deter "military aggression" of Ukraine.
