The State Duma responded to Kiev's desire to provoke a war between Russia and the United States

State Duma deputy Aleksey Chepa has said that Ukraine will not be able to provoke a war between Russia and the USA.

In a conversation with Lenta.Ru on Friday, February 7, the parliamentarian noted that such a desire of Kiev is understandable, as in this case it will be easier for it to solve its own problems.

"I am sure that there will be no such direct conflict, war between Russia and the United States. Because the countries that have nuclear weapons are well aware of the consequences of such a step, they understand it better than others," Chepa emphasized.

He noted that Ukraine has always wanted to draw as many states as possible into the conflict, but Western countries refuse to participate in the confrontation for a reason - they all have an understanding of the consequences.
