Ukraine crisisZelensky caught lying about Ukrainian control of Konstantinovka — Russian politician According to Leonid Slutsky, the Kiev regime uses lies as a tool of its neo-Nazi policyMOSCOW, November 13. /TASS/. Vladimir Zelensky's lies about Ukraine controlling the city of Konstantinovka in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) are piling up, Leonid Slutsky, leader of Russia’s Liberal Democratic Party and member of the State Duma (the lower house of parliament) Committee on International Affairs, told TASS. "Zelensky has in fact been caught in yet another lie, claiming that the Ukrainian army controls Konstantinovka. After President Putin proposed another humanitarian mission, officials from the Banderite government began accusing Russia of planning to rotate troops! What troops, if, according to Kiev, the city is controlled by Ukrainian forces? This is another deception and a media stunt," he said. According to Slutsky, the Kiev regime uses lies as a tool of its "neo-Nazi policy, which is based directly on the precepts of [Nazi Germany’s propagandist Joseph] Goebbels." "Zelensky and his associates only talk about peace, while continuing to gamble with civilian lives in an attempt to keep their blood-soaked government in power," the senior Russian lawmaker stressed. Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed a humanitarian mission in Konstantinovka at a meeting with US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner at the Kremlin on November 12. Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia was ready to demine roads leading to Konstantinovka in an operation expected to take five days. However, Peskov stressed that since Ukrainians claimed to control the city, they could clear the area of mines.
