Russia’s State Duma has adopted for a draft statement on the situation in Ukraine and the urgent tasks in developing and expanding Russian-Ukrainian relations, friendship, cooperation and partnership. The resolution was carried by a 342-majority vote. The lower house of the Russian parliament expressed serious concern over the internal political crisis in Ukraine. “President Yushchenko’s signing of a decree to disband parliament has been complicating the situation with every single day,” statement runs. The State Duma sees eye to eye with those who evaluated Yushchenko’s decree as unconstitutional. “The presidential branch of power in Ukraine is sending a very dangerous signal to the political forces going beyond the bounds of the legal space,” the Russian legislators said. Rumors of plans for a state of emergency in Ukraine met with the State Duma’s alarm. “Such a step would, as a matter of fact, be tantamount to the usurpation of power in the country. The adoption of such an unconstitutional measure would extremely complicate the political, economic, and other relations with other countries,” the State Duma said in the statement. The Russian lawmakers expressed their very negative attitude to any attempts to deal with the political crisis by dissolving parliament. The State Duma urged Ukraine’s foreign partners and international organizations to back the Ukrainian legislators, because “there is a glaring challenge to the very idea of parliamentarianism.” The State Duma came out in support of the Russian president and government in their efforts to promote friendly and equitable relations between the two countries.
