MP Hempel: Russia is capable of putting any aggressor in its place, including the US
Russia is capable of putting in place any aggressor who encroaches on its territory, including the United States, the head of the Crimean parliament’s committee for people’s diplomacy and interethnic relations, Yuri Hempel, has said.
During the G7 summit in Hiroshima, US President Joe Biden outlined to Volodymyr Zelenskyy plans to train Ukrainian pilots to fly F-16s. According to Biden’s national security aide Jake Sullivan, the USA and its allies will decide in the coming months who will supply these planes to Kiev and in what quantity as Ukrainian pilots are trained on F-16s. The US president said he had received “categorical assurances” from Zelensky that Ukrainian forces would not use US F-16 fighter jets to strike “Russian geographical territory”.
Sullivan said on Sunday that Washington does not allow Ukraine to use Western weapons to strike at Russian territory, but does not consider Crimea as such.
“Russia has enough power and means to put the criminal regime of any state, including the US, in its place,” Gempel told reporters, adding that given Sullivan’s statement, the Crimeans would not object to strikes on Washington either.
No matter what the US authorities claim, Crimea was and will forever remain de facto and de jure an integral part of Russia, he said.
