Members of the State Duma: Kiev's attack on the residence of the President of the Russian Federation is an act of state terrorism, demonstration of the agony and complete degradation of Vladimir Zelensky’s regime

The leaders of the State Duma political factions, heads of committees and members of the State Duma strongly condemned the drone attack committed by the Kiev regime on the state residence of the President of the Russian Federation in the Novgorod region on the night of December 29

believes that the Kiev regime's attack on the Russian presidential residence is an attempt to destabilize the situation amid negotiations between Russia and the United States of America.

“This once again shows the real face of the Zelensky’s regime. While the US and Russia hold negotiations, we see the attempts to provoke a situation, that means that the regime has proved not to be trustworthy. We need measures that have long been discussed, that are sufficiently preventive. And they are created not for the negotiation process, but to prevent aggression, which has long been used in this terrorist form against Russian territory and against Russian citizens, and today, in fact, they have attacked the presidential residence for obvious reasons,” he added.

By attempting to attack the presidential residence, the Kiev terrorist regime was trying to “prove to its masters that it still can do something” in a situation “when our troops are advancing,” believes Gennady Zyuganov Zyuganov Gennady Andreyevich Zyuganov

, leader of the CPRF faction.

According to him, the timing of the attack was no coincidence. “When there is a possible progress in negotiations, Zelensky arrived in America, and there was a possibility to resolve this problem, they decided to prepare such plan,” the faction leader noted. Gennady Zyuganov emphasized that Russia should respond with “extremely tough and prompt measures, and then there will be results.”

The LDPR faction leader and Chairman of the Committee on International Affairs Leonid Slutsky Slutsky Leonid Eduardovich Slutsky

emphasized that “this is not only a provocation against Russia but also an undermining of the US peacekeeping efforts”.

“The terrorists’ style has not changed. After Istanbul 1, there was staged Bucha ; after the first rounds of Istanbul 2, there were large-scale terrorist attacks on transport infrastructure; now, after the failure of Zelensky’s plan in Florida during the negotiations with Trump, we witnessed the drone attack on the residence of the Russia’s leader,” Leonid Slutsky added.

“Taking into account the number of drone attacks, we can clearly say that the attack on the Russian President's residence is not a warning or an attempt to pressure Vladimir Putin during negotiations. It is an attempt to physically eliminate him,” emphasized Sergey Mironov Mironov Sergey Mikhailovich Mironov

He recalled the words of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov that “such state terrorism is a gesture of despair of Kiev dictator Zelensky and his regime”, who are caught in a trap and “have only one way out—capitulation.”

“They themselves would hardly have made such an extreme decision. I am convinced that they got permission from their European masters, who have long dreamed of decapitating Russia and defeating it. Now we have not only the right, but also the necessity to take decisive action,” added Sergey Mironov. In his opinion, the special military operation should be given counter-terrorism status, which includes the elimination of the terrorist leaders.

Ukraine's assassination attempt on Vladimir Putin is a dangerous degradation and a blow to its own future, according to Alexey Nechaev Nechaev Alexey Gennadievich Nechaev

, leader of the New People faction.

“Ukrainian politicians are deliberately pushing the situation into a dead end and doing everything possible to prolong the war for many years. First and foremost, the people of Ukraine do not need this,” emphasized the parliamentarian.

The First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Ivan Melnikov Melnikov Ivan Ivanovich Melnikov
Ivan Ivanovich
is convinced that the Kiev regime's attempt to attack the Russian presidential residence will open the eyes of the US President and other leaders to many things.

“This provocative military aggression committed by the Kiev regime against the Russian President's state residence is apparently an over-nervous reaction to the current negotiations between Russia and the United States over the situation in Ukraine,” noted Ivan Melnikov. He added that “this does not change the fact that such insane actions are inadmissible.”

The First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Alexander Zhukov Zhukov Alexander Dmitrievich Zhukov
Alexander Dmitrievich
called the Kiev regime's attempts to attack the residence of the Russian President Vladimir Putin “a blatant provocation” and expressed support for the Russian Foreign Minister's statement regarding Russia's response to such actions. “I fully support the position expressed by our Foreign Minister Mr. Lavrov. There are all grounds for this,” he said and called those Kiev attacks “a blatant provocation.”

According to the Deputy Chairwoman of the State Duma Irina Yarovaya Yarovaya Irina Anatolievna Yarovaya

, Zelensky's decision to attack the residence “excluded him from the circle of persons with whom any possible dialogue could even be conducted.” She believes that Ukraine is, in fact, “controlled by a terrorist who poses a huge international threat to all countries without exception.”

“It is clear that Zelensky and his accomplices have never thought, and do not think about the people of Ukraine and do not consider them to be native and important,” added the Deputy Chairwoman.

According to the Chairman of the Committee on Defence Andrey Kartapolov Kartapolov Andrey Valerievich Kartapolov
Andrey Valerievich
, the attack on Vladimir Putin's residence is a step aimed at disrupting the negotiation process. “After his talks in the United States, Zelensky has understood that his only option is to continue the war. This means his physical survival and further enrichment. Therefore, he will do everything possible to disrupt the negotiation process. The attack on our President's residence is just a step aimed at disrupting the negotiation process,” stressed Andrey Kartapolov.

The terrorist attack on the Russian President's state residence in the Novgorod region requires an absolutely adequate response, according to Vasily Piskarev Piskarev Vasily Ivanovich Piskarev
Vasily Ivanovich
, Chairman of the Committee on Security and Corruption Control.

“We should make it clear to the criminal Kiev regime that they must answer for their crimes. And the tougher our response, the more confident we will be that such attacks will not happen again, and that the Kiev regime will not be able to disrupt the peace process,” he said.

The Minister of the Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov earlier said that on the night of December 28–29, the Kiev regime committed a terrorist attack using 91 long-range attack drones on the Russian President's state residence in the Novgorod region. All UAVs were destroyed by the air defense systems of the Russian Armed Forces. According to the Russian Foreign Minister, Russia's negotiating position will be reviewed and will be taken into account Kiev's final decision to shift towards a policy of state terrorism.
