Today we've met with Chairman of the House of Representatives Vladimir Andreichenko and discussed topical items on the agenda of the two chambers – the House of Representatives and the Council of the Republic. Since we knew the president wanted to make a statement, we asked him to make a speech before the parliamentarians so that we could discuss topical matters of the foreign policy and the domestic policy. The head of state accepted our proposal.”
