Alexey Konstantinovich calmly reacted to the resolution according to which PACE deprived Russia of the right to vote in the assembly for several months. (Recall that Russia is one of the main payers to the budget of the Council of Europe. In the summer, Moscow blocked contributions to the organization for the first time).

Alexey Pushkov commented on the situation regarding relations with Ukraine and regarding its threats to terminate the treaty of friendship and cooperation: “By denouncing the 1998 Treaty with Russia, Kyiv will also cancel the article on recognition of the territorial integrity of Ukraine. They’re shooting themselves in the foot again,” he was quoted as saying by Argumenti.ru.

Let us recall that on March 14, 2018, it became known that Ukraine could withdraw from the CIS, as well as denounce the treaty of friendship, cooperation and partnership with Russia. The deputy of the Verkhovna Rada "Independence" wrote about this on her Facebook page. Svetlana Zalischuk.

Alexey Pushkov called the appeal signed by deputies of Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Ukraine and Moldova to the heads of parliaments of European states demanding a discussion about the construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline as “hysterical from impotence.” Deputies from 5 countries not related to Nord Stream 2 issued a letter of protest against its construction. I don’t think this will affect the course of events: the demand for Russian gas in Europe is growing and will continue to grow. Hysterical from powerlessness and anger,” the senator wrote on his Twitter page.

Of course, Pushkov was outraged by the gross provocation that Great Britain “organized” with the “case” of the now notorious Sergei Skripal. In the Postscript program, Pushkov pointed out the lack of any evidence to accuse Russia of involvement in the poisoning of Sergei Skripal and his daughter.

And in general, Alexey Konstantinovich ironically advised to hire the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Yuri Lutsenko- a specialist in accusations taken out of thin air. Take, for example, the case filed against the hero of Ukraine Nadezhda Savchenko: “The Prosecutor General of Ukraine Lutsenko accused Savchenko of planning a terrorist attack: to explode grenades in the Rada hall, “to bring down the dome of the Verkhovna Rada with mortars and to finish off those who survive with machine guns” (!!!). Even he has never given birth to THIS before. Theresa May we urgently need to hire him,” the senator wrote on his Twitter page.

Alexey Pushkov commented on the criticism of the American senator John McCain to the US President Donald Trump, who congratulated Russian leader Vladimir Putin by phone on his election victory.

“I don’t know where McCain found the “Russian people” who were offended by Trump’s call to Putin. Probably in my head. Trump, on the contrary, had enough political wisdom to, despite powerful pressure, come to the conclusion that a complete severance of contacts with Russia would be to the detriment of the United States itself,” Pushkov wrote on his Twitter page.

In March 2018, Alexey Pushkov suggested the onset of even more difficult times for the residents of Ukraine, when Kyiv finally abandons Russian gas.

“The head of Naftogaz accused the Ukrainians of “excessive consumption” of gas. Like, they burn him and burn him just like that, for fun, they could freeze and eat something cold... These are just flowers. Or will it happen when Kyiv buys expensive liquefied gas from Qatar and the United States and it will be worth its weight in gold,”

Russian public figure, politician and political scientist, journalist Alexey Pushkov is well known to Russian television viewers as the host of a popular analytical program on the TVC channel “Postscriptum”.
