Zelensky is a 'Toy' in Washington's Hands: State Duma Speaker

Ukraine is a dependent state, and its president is a 'toy' in Washington's hands. This was stated by the Speaker of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin, as reported by RIA Novosti.

"Ukraine is not independent; the president is a toy in Washington's hands," Volodin said during an appearance on Moscow's 'Russia 1' television channel.

The parliamentarian noted that the West will continue to behave in this way, as its priority is the weakening of Russia. "As for Ukrainians, they do not consider them to be people, merely expendable material; therefore, they will finance, supply weapons to Ukraine, and do everything to ensure military operations continue until the last Ukrainian," he stated.
