On Wednesday, May 31, a journalist from Komsomolskaya Pravda invited the official representative of the Kremlin to further discuss a very important initiative.
… – Dmitry Sergeevich, your colleagues already asked about this the other day, you said that you had not yet had an idea on this topic. I want to say that Leonid Slutsky (leader of the Liberal Democratic Party) proposes not only to return the title of Hero City of Soviet times, but also to give it to Donetsk and Lugansk, for courage and heroism. The fact is that this topic has now received its development. The State Duma is preparing amendments to the legislation. How does the Kremlin feel about it? Perhaps this is really important, since our special operation continues to be successful, and residents of other cities in the new territories of Russia are showing courage and heroism.
“Of course, especially the residents of Donetsk and Luhansk have shown absolute heroism in the last nine years,” Peskov said. – It is to ensure their safety, as well as the other two new regions (Zaporozhye and Kherson. – AG), that a special military operation is being carried out.
Of course, the bravery of these cities is to be celebrated.
But – in what way – let’s wait for our legislators to work. (We are talking, first of all, about the State Duma. – AG)
– Thank you, I agree.
– Please.
