The State Duma asks Putin to "assist" the Crimea. In the Council, they allow the entry of troops

The State Duma and the Federation Council expressed their positions on the situation in Ukraine, and in particular in the Crimea, where the center of Simferopol was taken under control by armed people. Putin is asked to assist to stabilize the situation in the Crimea and protect the Russians - up to the entry of a "limited contingent of troops." This option was allowed by the speaker of the Council of Council Valentina Matvienko. On Saturday morning, the head of the Government of Crimea Aksenov turned to Vladimir Putin with a request to help ensure “peace and tranquility” .

The State Duma believes that all branches of the authorities in Ukraine are deprived of the opportunity to make legitimate decisions due to the actions of the radicals. In this situation, including the legitimate elections of the president, Russian deputies were impossible. “The militants who have undergone special training, including in camps that are az borders of Ukraine, and other radical forces that illegally seized power impose their will to the eastern and southeastern regions of the country, where most of the Russian -speaking population lives, which does not share the views of an aggressively tuned radical minority,” the deputies say.

In a statement on Crimea, the Council of the Lower House of Parliament appealed to the President of the Russian Federation with an appeal to assist in ensuring peace and tranquility in the territory of Crimea, as well as to use all the available opportunities to protect the population of this autonomous republic, Interfax reports. United Russia noted that almost 60% of the population of Crimea are Russian people.

Crimea is an autonomous republic, and its inhabitants have the right to determine with their future fate, Matvienko believes. "The authorities of the Crimea stated that they are ready to take on the organization of the life of the Lifeness of Crimea, the security of citizens.
