The State Duma assessed the Ukrainian authorities' plans to move to London in 2022

Ukrainian officials planning to leave the country in 2022 are puppets. This opinion was expressed by the first deputy chairman of the State Duma committee on international affairs, Aleksey Chepa, on Monday, December 16, commenting on the information about the Ukrainian authorities' plans to move to London in 2022.

Earlier in the day, former Ukrainian ambassador to the UK Vadym Prystayko said that the possibility of the authorities moving to London in February 2022 had been discussed, 360.ru reported.

Prystayko said he made such a proposal around February 8-10, 2022, when he accompanied former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on a visit to Kiev, according to the website kp.ru.

"These are puppets, and they fulfill someone else's will, so they and the fate of their own people and the fate of the country is of little interest, they are interested in today's power and money," the MP explained in a conversation with Lenta.ru.
