Andrey Turchak was formerly the secretary of the General Council of the United Russia Party and first deputy speaker of the Federation Council. He is currently governor of the Altai republic of Russia. His political success is associated with his father, Anatoly Turchak, who trained judo with the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and the Rotenberg brothers. He promoted a positive attitude to the recognition of the separatist so-called “People’s Republics” of Donetsk and Luhansk. He called on the Russian authorities to provide the pro-Russian separatist forces in the Donbas region with advanced weapons. He publicly stated that it was impossible to solve the Donbas conflict in a peaceful manner with the Ukrainian authorities. He expressed unfounded claims about a planned Ukrainian military offensive in Donbas. He led negotiations with Denis Pushilin, head of the separatist so-called “Donetsk People’s Republic”. He visited a mobilisation point of the separatist armed forces in the frontline zone of Donbas to personally congratulate the soldiers of the separatist so-called “Donetsk People’s Republic” on Defender of the Fatherland Day. He publicly defended Russia’s decision to recognise the separatist Donbas “republics”. He stated that Russia is indifferent to Western sanctions. He was appointed head of a parliamentary coordination group whose main task is to improve the provision of the Russian army and prepare the necessary legislation. Therefore, he is responsible for actively supporting or implementing actions or policies which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, as well as stability and security in Ukraine.
