The statement of the State Duma of the Russian Federation testifies to delusional aggressiveness and cowardice of the Russian political elite. This was stated by Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov in his comment.

According to him, there is no aggravation of the situation in Ukraine, which Russian deputies refer to in their statement. "There is only an autumn relapse in the heads of the Russian military-political leadership", - Mr. Turchynov said.

The NSDC Secretary stressed that our state fulfills all the international obligations assumed and indeed has become the vanguard of confrontation "on all possible fronts and directions" of Russian aggression.

"While cowardly hiding behind its nuclear potential, with which Putin threatened today promising to destroy a civilized world, Russian deputies turned to direct threats to Ukraine, but these threats evoke not fear but contempt for their authors", - he said.

In Mr. Turchynov's opinion, one reason for another wave of "yelling and threats of the Russian political elite is the destruction of hopes for a possible victory of the revanchist pro-Russian forces in the presidential and parliamentary elections in Ukraine".

"Our state is ready to resist Russian aggression and defend our right to be a free, independent and European country!", - the Secretary of the NSDC of Ukraine summarized.
