PlLeader of the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) Igor Plotnitsky has invited United States Senator John McCain to visit the republic to monitor local elections, LuganskInformCenter said on Monday.
Speaking at a news conference on Monday, Plotnitsky asked journalists to convey his invitation to the US Senator. “You know, if the OSCE doesn’t want to come, I would like to ask you, as the free press, to convey my invitation to the most upright man, the world’s most democratic democrat who travels the world teaching the rules of democracy. The one who honestly defended US skies over Vietnam, the one who was so consumed by the thoughts about democracy that he did not notice how he was shot down and held captive in Vietnam where he must have learned the basics of democracy. I am speaking about Senator McCain,” Plotnitsky said, commenting on the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights’ (ODIHR) refusal to monitor elections in his republic.
US Senator John McCain is known for his zealous calls for arms supply to Ukraine’s army holding a force operation in Donbass. He visited Kiev to speak with participants of the state coup.
