Colonel of the Donetsk People’s Republic Eduard Basurin, in a conversation with NEWS.ru, suggested removing the word “foreign agent” from the Russian language and replacing it with “traitor”. In his opinion, people who receive money from outside and harm Russia can only be called that.
I would remove the word “foreign agent”. If a person receives money from outside in order to harm his country, who is he? In my opinion, a traitor, – Basurin said.
The colonel spoke out against the return of citizens who left Russia. In his opinion, they should not be forgiven in their homeland, because they can betray a second time.
To be honest, I don’t want those who left to return. And I think the statements of some politicians about forgiving them are unfair. Having betrayed once, you will betray a second time. And we are, in fact, returning to the “sleepers”. Those people who will return may subsequently “shoot” and harm Russia. The West worked with them too, Basurin added.
Earlier it became known that the State Duma is developing bills on counteracting foreign agents and anti-Russian forces. The State Duma commission for investigating facts of foreign interference in the affairs of the Russian Federation reported on the possible introduction of additional measures aimed at counteracting the destructiveness of the above-mentioned persons.
