Russia’s most senior lawmaker on Saturday accused Washington of coordinating military operations in Ukraine, which he said amounted to direct U.S. involvement in military action against Russia.
“Washington is essentially coordinating and developing military operations, thereby directly participating in military actions against our country,” Vyacheslav Volodin wrote on his Telegram channel.
Washington and European members of the transatlantic NATO alliance have supplied Kyiv with heavy weapons to help it resist a Russian offensive that has resulted in the occupation of parts of eastern and southern Ukraine but failed to take Kyiv.
However, the United States and its NATO allies have repeatedly said they will not take part in fighting themselves, in order to avoid becoming parties to the conflict.
U.S. officials have said the United States has provided intelligence to Ukraine to help counter the Russian assault, but have denied that this intelligence includes precise targeting data.
Ukraine and the West say the fascist allegation is baseless, and that Russia has carried out an unprovoked act of aggression. The conflict has killed thousands in Ukraine, and more than five million people have fled the country.
Volodin said foreign advisers had been working in Ukraine since what he called the “coup d’etat,” in an apparent reference to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s democratic election in 2019.
The rhetoric comes just days ahead of what is known in Russia as “Victory Day” — the May 9 commemoration of the former Soviet efforts against the Nazis in World War Two.
There is speculation Russian President Vladimir Putin will send a warning to the West when he speaks at a parade in Moscow’s Red Square. There is also expected to be a flyover by the Il-80 “doomsday” command plane for the first time since 2010.

I know. Not good.
He’s right. They can’t help themselves. This is all a carry over from the Russia hoax of 2016.
I think they’re scared witless that Durham will reveal there was no Russian hacking of the DNC emails. This is to keep minds poisoned.
Aw… somebody is not able to win a war.
Things are heating up for them to develop excuses why their special op is a flop.
Waa waa not fair the country we invaded is getting help. Waaaa..
So is this russian dude going to have a look at history and let us know that providing them arms against Germany in the Lend Lease program in WWII was a bad idea then too? Is he going to compare our actions against theirs in Korea, Vietnam, and the Middle East? I need to buy more popcorn and stream more video of russian tanks blowing up.
“Volodin said foreign advisers had been working in Ukraine since what he called the “coup d’etat,” in an apparent reference to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s democratic election in 2019.”
Does the way this sentence was constructed remind anyone of the way the 2020 election steal has been reported over and over?
The same people who stole the 2020 election are responsible for installing Zelensky so the corrupt gravy train would continue.
the USA administration goaded Russia into this war and has since been inflaming it by all available means
either millions of Europeans will die or
USA will wind up fighting WW3 and millions of Europeans AND AMERICANS will die, for nothing
At one time, the US would stand for peace and trying diplomacy between nations in order to avoid war.
There has been ZERO effort by the US to find a peaceful solution in Ukraine.
Nobody can back Russia into a corner. They have nowhere to go.
If the United States keeps pushing, Russia will retaliate with nuclear weapons and NOBODY can win such a war.
Millions will die because Democrats want to change the subject from their utter incompetence, corruption and governing failures.
Ukraine is the last place on Earth worth millions dying for.
Ukraine cannot win against Russia. It is absurd to suggest it. All it can do is keep getting more Ukrainians killed and continue the destruction of its own country.
Ukraine can keep killing Russian generals who will be replaced.
The USA cannot win an all-out war with Russia which has 6,000 nuclear weapons.
What would be left of the USA in a nuclear exchange?
The Russians are right. More Neocon provocation.
Russian Navy taking more hits
VIDEO: Two more Raptor-class patrol boats struck by Ukrainian Bayraktar TB2 attack drones near Snake Island
We are not the good guys.
Zero effort? The sick US deep-state and its neocon ideologues made sure the war happened, and are now trying to inflame it.
Mark my words - so complete is their control of government, our institutions and the media, The USA will need to undergo its own kind of "de-nazification" to remove the influence of these people.
Child.
From the Dims’ standpoint, it will be better to have a nuclear war and nationwide martial law rather than acknowledge Joe’s incapacity.
Don't worry. I've been reassured by many here that Russian nukes will certainly malfunction and fall on their own cities.
