Russian lawmaker Sergey Mironov offered to help Texas get independence from the United States in a social media post, according to Newsweek.
İt is noted that Texas Governor Greg Abbott and the Department of Justice have been battling in court over migrant deterrent tactics that the governor has implemented to stop the massive influx of illegal migrant crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border.
There were more than 2.4 million encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border during the 2023 fiscal year, up from roughly 1.7 million in 2021, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data.
Sergey Mironov, the leader of faction A Just Russia—For Truth in the Russian legislature, wrote on X, "In the conflict between Texas and the United States, I am on the side of the state. At least Texas does not interfere in the affairs of other countries. If necessary, we are ready to help with the independence referendum. And of course, we will recognize the People's Republic of Texas if there is one. Good luck! We're with you!"
The post was written in Russian and translated in a separate post by Anton Gerashchenko, a former adviser to Ukraine's minister of internal affairs. In his post, he called out the hypocrisy of Mironov's statement, writing, "Says the representative of a country that oppresses its ethnic minorities, calls all independence movements within Russia organized by foreign special services, beats up and jails public activists."
A U.S. Department of State spokesperson told Newsweek, "The Kremlin is trying in the most obvious way to concoct a false narrative that will sow division in our country. We hope people see this narrative for what it is—standard Kremlin nonsense."
