State Duma proposed to classify discussion of war in Ukraine

State Duma speaker Vyacheslav Volodin invited Russian deputies to classify the discussion of hostilities in Ukraine so as not to “harm the Russian army”, Russian media reports.

“We want openness? We want to express our point of view? But this is a military operation. … In such cases there are others, let’s come out of this,” he suggested, explaining that an open discussion can “cause harm”.

“Colleagues, let’s think about our guys, but the most important thing is about the security of our country,” Volodin called.
