On March 12, Sergei Veremeenko, a deputy from the United Russia party, attempted to speak in the State Duma of the Russian Federation. The Russian, who is the head of a leading microprocessor manufacturing plant, spoke incoherently, so it was suspected that the man was intoxicated.
The Russian media reported this.
During the plenary session, Serhiy Veremeenko tried to communicate something from the floor.
The Russian MP’s speech suggests that he was trying to ask Vasyl Piskaryov, the head of the commission, about countering external interference. In particular, he drew attention to the fact that Russia responds to every external action in its own way and hinted that people abroad might not believe that the Russian Armed Forces allegedly have powerful weapons.
“We counter the actions of hostile forces. I would like to think how we will respond to them. Will they say again: “Did you bring it?” ‘This is a terrible weapon,’ he blurted out.
We did not draw any conclusions from Veremeenko’s speech. But it looks like the man was drunk. The speaker of the State Duma, Vladimir Volodin, intervened in this public stream of consciousness of the deputy, thanking him for his speech. The meeting continued as if nothing had happened.
