MOSCOW, September 16. /ITAR-TASS/. NATO weapon supply’s pledge to Kiev is fraught with interference in Ukrainian domestic affairs and abetment to war crimes, while US irresponsible policy brings the world to the edge of the Cold War, Russia’s State Duma Speaker Sergei Naryshkin said in his opening remarks of the lower house’s autumn session on Tuesday.

“We begin the autumn session amid serious deterioration of the international situation,” Naryshkin said. “The long-awaited ceasefire regime in Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics suspended massive bloodshed,” he said. “But the crisis and confrontation in Ukraine continue. And chaos instigated in the very center of Europe did not cool down belligerent passions of those who had provoked them six months ago,” Naryshkin noted.

The recent NATO summit has just made the current situation worse, the lower house speaker said. “We hear from different sources that the Kiev regime was promised deliveries of weapons and military hardware from some countries of this military bloc, and that is already fraught with outright interference in Ukrainian domestic affairs. Speaking straightforwardly, (it is) abetment to war crimes committed in the country,” the official said.
