“Those who do not want to… accept the citizenship of another country are now suffering from humiliation and persecution. Therefore, we must, without question, do everything to protect our citizens”, - russian media quoted the statement of State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin.
Thus, the russian politician responded to the decision of the Latvian authorities to deport more than 800 russians who failed to prove their knowledge of the Latvian language.
As previously reported, the “protection” of the russian-speaking population of Ukraine became one of the fabricated “reasons” used to justify russian aggression against a sovereign state.
