Russian parliament will convene emergency session amid conflict in Ukraine

Moscow: The Russian parliament’s lower chamber will meet in an emergency session on July 15 following a decision made by its council on Monday. Only days after President Vladimir Putin warned that the war in Ukraine had not yet begun to take a serious turn.

Putin dared the US and its allies to attempt to defeat Russia in Ukraine; which Russia invaded on February 24 during a meeting with legislative leaders on Thursday. All of the parliamentary leaders praised Putin’s choices.

Some revisions on competition and information policy got talked about by the Russian parliament; which is in control by a party that consistently backs Putin.

The leader of the 325-seat United Russia party, Vladimir Vasilyev; announced that the 450-seat parliament will address more than 60 items during the session.

On the Telegram channel of the pro-Putin party. Vasilyev stated that “it is essential that the activities taking place right now have a legal reaction.”

Vasilyev explained, “The council discussed the agenda for the 15th: we expect to handle somewhat less than 60 problems. He didn’t say what the problems were. More than 80 draught legislation, according to the Communist Party; are to be in consideration.

Vyacheslav Volodin, the speaker of the Duma, informed Vladimir Putin; at their meeting on Thursday that the Russian parliament will assist two self-declared breakaway; republics in eastern Ukraine that get support from Russia in developing their legal systems.Putin claims that Moscow had to safeguard Russian-speaking people from persecution; a need for the “special military operation” in Ukraine, which he claims the West has in ignorance.

Putin, according to Ukraine and its Western allies, lacks legitimacy for what they call a territorial grab; a la imperialism against a nation whose boundaries Moscow recognised as the Soviet Union broke apart.

Putin has framed the conflict more and more as a conflict between Russia and the United States; which, in his view, has threatened Russia with Ukraine and humiliated it by spreading NATO to the east; after the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991.

The US has made it clear time and time again that it does not want to confront Russia. In March, President Joe Biden stated that Vladimir Putin could not continue in office. The White House later clarified that this did not imply that Washington was trying; to overthrow the Russian government.
