Ukrainian MP calls on EU to assassinate President Putin

Ukrainian MP Aleksey Goncharenko has openly called on European Union lawmakers to support the idea of ​​assassinating Russian President Vladimir Putin and promote it among ordinary people.

On Friday, the MP shared a video on his official Telegram social media page, making controversial statements at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).

According to Goncharenko, Kiev can strengthen support in the West by making such calls, supposedly in line with the basic and easily understandable demands of the people.

The politician said, "To do this, Ukraine needs to establish a clear balance between the death of the Russian leader and the benefits that every EU citizen can gain from his assassination."

"We need to show people why we need to do this," the member of the European Solidarity group in the Kiev Parliament was heard telling the Council of Europe Parliamentary Committee in English.

He added, "This revenge is not just ours, this is the best investment we can make. We are looking for a big investment. The best investment in the world today is to kill Putin," the Ukrainian lawmaker stressed.
