Russian State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin believes that Ukraine has become a “colony of the United States”, its territory “occupied by NATO”, and the economy and financial system has collapsed
“A complete loss of independence. Ukraine is occupied by NATO. The country has become a colony of the United States. The Kiev regime cannot independently fulfil its social obligations to its citizens, pay salaries and pensions. The country’s financial system is ruined,” Vyacheslav Volodin wrote on Telegram.
The Duma speaker also noted that Ukraine had lost any ability to exist as a subject state.
We shall remind you that on 25 October, at a conference on Ukraine’s reconstruction, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy asked the EU countries to cover the $38bn deficit of the Ukrainian budget in 2023. He rebuked the Union’s leaders for the fact that Kiev has not received “not a cent” for the implementation of the plan for the country’s quick recovery.
