The address of the US Embassy may be "Donbass Defenders Square"

The leaders of the four factions of the Moscow City Duma proposed to name the territory near the building of the US Embassy in Moscow "Square of the Defenders of the Donbass."

They argue that the numerous Muscovites who support the so -called special operation in Ukraine ask them to perpetuate the memory "about the heroism of Russians who fight today with Nazism." "The appearance of the Donbass defenders on the map of Moscow will reflect the support of the actions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation by Muscovites," the Moscow government said. It was signed by the leaders of the United Russia, Fair Russia, the Communist Party and My Moscow. In the Moscow City Duma there is also the Yabloko fraction, she did not join the appeal.

The Party named after "Special Operations" in the Moscow City Duma ("United Russia", together with the Communist Party, fair Russia and "My Moscow"), offers to assign the territory in the Presnya area the name "Square of the Defenders of Donbass". https://t.co/llne7sfxum pic.twitter.com/gofrxfno3n

The area of the defenders of Donbass is proposed to name the territory at the intersection of Bolshoi Devyatinsky Lane and Konyushkovskaya Street. It is assumed that the US Embassy should receive an address for this area. What is the relation to the United States to Donbass and its "protection" is not said in circulation.

The city interdestial commission on the name of streets and other facilities stated that they would consider the appeal "as soon as possible."

• After the murder of the Russian oppositionist Boris Nemtsov in a number of Western countries, including in the United States, his name was named squares or sections of the streets on which Russian embassies are located. After the Russian invasion of Ukraine in the capitals of some countries, the streets were named or renamed the "heroes of Ukraine" or "Independence of Ukraine". For example, in Prague, the Russian Embassy is now located simultaneously on Boris Nemtsov Square and Heroes of Ukraine Street.
• The invasion began on February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin called his goal, among other things, “protection” of the self -proclaimed “people's republics” of Donbass from the “Ukrainian nationalists”.
