MOSCOW. March 7 (Interfax) - A draft address to the German parliament regarding the leaked conversation of German commanding officers on the delivery of Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine for being used in strikes on the Crimean Brigade has been submitted to the Russian State Duma, State Duma Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Leonid Slutsky said.
"A draft address to the Bundestag regarding the leaked conversation between German officers has been submitted to the State Duma. We propose that the issue be discussed on March 12," Slutsky told reporters on Thursday.
The State Duma will urge the Bundestag to prevent "actions drawing Germany into the armed conflict on the side of the Nazi-terrorist Ukrainian regime," he said.
"Multiple evidence of Ukraine's use of Western weapons and ammunition and the involvement of servicemen of the United States, the United Kingdom, France and other NATO members, including Germany, in the hostilities in Ukraine, including instructors and military specialists servicing complex military hardware, give every reason to affirm the credibility and highly dangerous nature of the plans hatched by the Bundeswehr command," the document says.
State Duma members urge the German parliament to hold an impartial investigation into the involvement of German servicemen in the hostilities in Ukraine.
They also remind the German parliament about the Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany of September 12, 1990, according to which "only peace will emanate from German soil [...] and acts tending to and undertaken with the intent to disturb the peaceful relations between nations, especially to prepare for aggressive war, are unconstitutional and a punishable offense."
"The State Duma is confident that the successful experience of enduring Soviet-German and Russian-German normalization, the common sense of the German people and parliamentarians expressing their will can prevent the catastrophe of a direct armed confrontation between Germany and Russia and can promote the start of a mutually beneficial political dialogue in the name of peace and prosperity in Europe," the document says.
