In a January 14, 2022 interview that was streamed live on the Nasional’nyy Kurs YouTube channel, Russian Duma member Yevgeny Alexeyevich Fyodorov said that the U.S. thinks Russian President Vladimir Putin is bluffing when he makes tough statements, and that a “physical demonstration“ of Moscow’s determination, such as a ballistic missile strike against American defense facilities, would convince the Americans otherwise. Arguing that international law grants Russia the right to target U.S. Defense Department facilities, Fyodorov said that instead of threatening Ukrainian territory, Russia should threaten American territory. He also suggested that COVID-19 is being produced in American government laboratories.
