Vyacheslav Volodin urged UN to investigate crimes of the American “empire of lies”
Chairman of the State Duma recalled that one of the biggest deceptions of the global community took place 20 years ago on February 5
20 years ago at a meeting of the UN Security Council, US Secretary of State Colin Powell accused Iraq of producing weapons of mass destruction, holding a vial with ‘white powder’ as proof, Vyacheslav Volodin

The Chairman of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation of the eighth convocation. Elected in single mandate constituency № 163 (Saratov constituency - Saratov Oblast)
posted on his Telegram channel.
“The UN Security Council did not authorize Washington to use force. But American troops invaded Iraq anyway. Half a million civilians became victims, the president was executed, the country was gone,” added the Chairman of the State Duma.
Later, Powell admitted that the vial case was just a hoax, but Washington had not been held to account, as emphasized Vyacheslav Volodin.
“All the policies of the United States of America and the collective West are based on lies. The same applied to the ‘non-expansion’ of NATO eastwards. The Minsk agreements also turned out to be a deception, as Merkel and Hollande acted just as Powell did,” stressed the Chairman of the State Duma.
Vyacheslav Volodin emphasized that the UN should investigate Washington's crimes against humanity. “And those politicians who made such decisions should be punished for the millions of victims, refugees, broken destinies, destroyed states,” he concluded.
