“Terrorism is the most dangerous crime around the world. But it is fascism and terrorism that have proclaimed their power in Ukraine and pose a real threat to the life and security of Russian citizens living in Ukraine and undoubtedly to the brotherly people of Ukraine,” she said.
Yarovaya reiterated the repeatedly pronounced position of Russian parliamentarians that power in Ukraine was seized by force. “Organised criminal groups proclaimed themselves the new authorities and are acting in defiance of all rules of international law and the Ukrainian Constitution,” she said. “The decision adopted by the Federation Council today is fully in line with the Constitution and international law, but most importantly it is aimed at protecting life and security.” Yarovaya reaffirmed that Russia “respects sovereignty and has always acted and continues to act to protect the sovereign rights of people around the world. We have repeatedly warned the international community and the United States against interfering in the internal affairs of Ukraine,” she said, adding that “some European and U.S. politicians bear direct responsibility for the crisis in Ukraine, for the bloodshed and for the coup.”
She believes that U.S. President Barack Obama’s latest statement on Russia “has fully exposed the U.S. policy of brutal interference in the sovereign rights of other countries and aggressive imposition of its interests.” “Our task is to prevent casualties among our citizens and protect constitutional order in Ukraine,” he said.
The MP stressed that the Federation Council’s decision “is essentially humanitarian in nature … just as is the parliament’s decision that the authorised international bodies should assess the legitimacy of the Verkhovna Rada which is acting outside the law and outside the interests of the people of Ukraine.”
“The security of all people living in Ukraine, the supremacy of law, respect for the constitutional rights of the people of Ukraine, security and independence of the sovereign state of Ukraine - these are the ultimate values that Russia’s decision aims to protect,” Yarovaya said...................http://en.itar-tass.com/russia/721606
