‘Slap sanctions on nations that supply weapons to Ukraine’ – Communists to PM

Two Communist Party officials are asking Russia’s prime minister to consider sanctions against countries that send arms to the Ukrainian military, saying it would relieve tensions and be a good response to sanctions against Russia.

The letter to Dmitry Medvedev was signed by deputy head of the
Communist Party Valery Rashkin and the secretary of the central
committee, Sergey Obukhov. They write that over the past several
months, the mass media have repeatedly reported on weapons
supplies to Ukraine by various nations, both openly and
discreetly. This facilitates the continuation of the military
conflict in the southeast of that country, they maintain.

In their letter Rashkin and Obukhov also pointed out that several
nations, starting with the US, had previously introduced and
deepened economic sanctions against Russia over its alleged role
in the Ukrainian conflict. This allows Russia to reciprocate by
slapping sanctions against countries that take part in the war by
supplying weapons and other military hardware.

Obukhov told the popular daily Izvestia that the main objective
was to contribute to a peaceful settlement in Ukraine and
therefore he and his colleague support a compromise with the EU
in general and its leading members, such as Germany and France.

“But why should we be subtle with such warmongers as Poland
or Lithuania? Polish and Lithuanian mercenaries are already
actively involved in the Donbass conflict and plans exist to
legalize their military presence near Russian borders by
launching a joint Ukrainian-Polish-Lithuanian force under NATO’s
aegis. We cannot limit ourselves to diplomatic notes of protest,
we must think about economic sanctions against these
states,” he said.

Obukhov went on to accuse Lithuania and Poland of
“sponsoring, and de facto committing, mass killings of ethnic
Russians in Donbass” and said that if such actions are left
unpunished Russia would lose the respect of the international
community.

The authors gave several examples of reports about foreign-made
weapons and equipment used by the Ukrainian military in the
Donbass conflict and quoted the head of Russia’s mission in NATO,
Aleksandr Grushko, who recently said that there was proof of use
of such weapons by pro-Kiev forces.

Rashkin recalled in an interview with Izvestia that Lithuania’s
envoy to the United Nations had practically admitted the fact
that his country supplied weapons to Ukraine, which is a
violation of Lithuania’s obligations in international treaties on
conventional weapons in Europe.

“The Lithuanian president has already stated that the first
round of war with Russia had started. How can we keep pretending
that there is nothing extraordinary going on? Why should we keep
doing business as usual with such provocateurs?” he added.

The Communists’ proposal to Medvedev reads that Russia should
immediately introduce sanctions against Lithuania, such as a
complete ban on Lithuanian imports and an entry ban to all
Lithuanian politicians responsible for the “Russophobic
policy” of that state. Russia should also recall its
ambassador from Vilnius for political consultations, they
suggest.

Earlier this month Rashkin and Obukhov sent another letter to
Medvedev suggesting that the Russian government should forward an
ultimatum to Ukraine and demand the full return of
multi-billion-dollar credits if official Kiev fails to observe
the ceasefire agreements.

Before that the two politicians suggested that Russian law
enforcers should impound the Russian assets of Ukrainian
billionaire-turned-President Petro Poroshenko in order to punish
him for the ‘war crimes’ of the Ukrainian military.
