yesterday Pushkov said at the meeting of the Department of international Affairs of the European Parliament.
"Two things are evident - the complete silence about the crimes of Kiev. When you lay the facts on cluster munitions, phosphate warheads on ballistic missiles, it is greeted with shocked silence. I understand that part of the audience about that don't know, and the second priority not know. That is, Kyiv untouchable in the eyes of the vast majority of the eyes of the MEPs, " Pushkov said on air of the TV channel. In his vision, on the one hand, this is the result of Western imposition, and on the backward policies that MPs receive from their governments And leaders of the political parties.

According to Pushkov, if the United States will begin supplying weapons to Ukraine, it may very will end badly for European security.
