Poklonskaya spoke about the common grief of mothers and wives from Russia and Ukraine

Deputy HEAD of Rossotrudnichestvo Natalya Poklonskaya said that she met with relatives of servicemen who are in Ukraine, whose fate is unknown. She noted that this uncertainty for their loved ones is very painful, and added that "on the other hand" families are experiencing the same thing.

“It is about mercy, the value of human life. I ask you to support these young girls, mothers, children, who are begging for the return of their husbands, sons and fathers, or at least to provide information about what is happening to them. This is a common grief that unites all women, mothers, children - both from RUSSIA and from Ukraine, ”Poklonskaya wrote on TELEGRAM.

She called on public figures and Russian-Ukrainian pop artists to support the request to "bring everyone home" and "to act as a united front for mercy and the preservation of the human face without bloodthirstiness." “Beautiful Angelina Jolie visited Lviv – she is also a woman and a mother. Support all the same women and mothers from Russia and Ukraine, ”Poklonskaya urged.

She noted that she does not interfere in the affairs of the special operation, but asks for humanity towards people. “Deal with each other, express grievances ... You can put off calling names and killing yourself for“ later, ”Poklonskaya said.

She also clarified that all publications on her personal pages are her personal opinion as a “public figure, ex-prosecutor, ex-deputy and politician” and are not the official position of Rossotrudnichestvo.

Since the beginning of the military operation in Ukraine, Poklonskaya has repeatedly called on Russians and Ukrainians to abandon mutual hatred and “stop in this madness.” She called the letter Z, which the Russian military put on equipment during a special operation, a symbol of tragedy and grief. “This letter Z symbolizes tragedy and grief for both Russia and Ukraine. Why? Yes, because Russian soldiers and Russians are dying, and parents receive different news. This is a disaster,” she said.

The Latin letters Z and V are considered symbols of a special military operation that Russia has been conducting in Ukraine since February 24 . These letters are applied by Russian servicemen to military equipment. The Ministry of Defense explained that the letter Z means "For the victory", and V - "Strength in truth" and "The task will be completed."

The head of Rossotrudnichestvo, Yevgeny Primakov, then promised to "draw conclusions." According to Primakov, the symbols Z and V on military equipment have become "a popular symbol of support for the army and the liberation of Ukraine from the obvious evil - terrorists and regime gangs." “As for a certain voluntarism and expression of freedom of opinion by civil servants in connection with the performance of their duties in a federal agency, I consider the interests of the agency and the state that it represents to be a priority,” he said.

In addition, Poklonskaya warned the authorities of both countries against persecuting people for expressing a position on the current situation. She compared what is happening with the witch hunt, which can not end "nothing good."
