ah ah, president putin makes the choice to immediately recognize the sovereignty of ukraine's dumbass republics. also signing treaties of friendship, corporation and mutual assistance to president of the russian federation. vladimir putin is signing the executive decree on recognition. all that done, if people's republic, president of the russian federation district latimer potent signing their executive decree on recognition their logan's people to republic. no shelling brought fireworks in the don bus after recognition of the independence

is officially signed in the kremlin days of happiness and broad smiles. not only in the didn't yet skill against republics, but also in many russian regions where thousands of found a safe place to shelter president biden claims russia's move to recognise done yet skill of guns go to me represents an unusual and extraordinary threat cus, security, and signs more harsh sanctions against moscow and the dumbass republics. ah, it's just gone 6 a. m, here in moscow. mine is peter scott's coming to you live from our headquarters here in the russian capital and all nights. one story has been dominating the headlines . president putin has ordered the troops be sent to don boss, to maintain peace in the region. thus after earlier, recognizing the independence of the daniel and luc ganske republics. earlier,

i discussed the details of the signed degree with ortiz elliot katrinka. first of all, we do have to understand that we can look at these treaties between moscow and donates, as well as lou ganske as an agreement between 2 fully fledged nations. because starting this monday, moscow treats the 2 republics as full on entities of international law. but it's more importantly, it's more important to look at what exactly russia can do under these treaties in the 2 republics on their territory. so let me just go through the other elements of it. besides the fact that troops will now be sent to the don. it's going lugens republics. now, according to this agreement, russia will be able to use the infrastructure and the territory of the 2 new states

as moscow puts it for the military bases even possibly, and the movement and the maneuvers of its own army right there. besides this v, a borders of donnie, it's going lugens. republics will be secured and guarded. not only by the troops belonging to don, it's can lugens, but also by the russian army as well, which is very important here because you've been asking our guests, what are the immediate consequences of this decision to recognize the independence? well, there it is. now, key of will probably be hesitant to start an attack or a launch further offensive against this to because and now the understand that they will be up against the russian military. in that particular case, there are also other elements of it. for example, the economic measures that will be applied by russia from now on because they will insure further security of the banking sector of the 2 republics and financial

stability as well. but i will also want to tell you about is a lot of our put in speech should have been quite short, after sinning to as the most senior russian officials, a lot of our potent held a conversation. a hell. hell, the council with emma and we heard from survey sure ago we heard from other government ministers that it was high time to recognize the independence or mr. put them could have just come out and said, okay, we're doing this. we've made the historic decision, but instead mr. brewton gave a full on history lesson about the historic connections between russia and ukraine and explained a full motivation between the story behind the kremlin move. and one of the elements of it was, of course, ensuring the safety and security of the russian speaking population in east ukraine . that's on the one hand. on the other hand, that is the military build up the whole madry aspect behind it was that name a ukraine could have become a member of nato plus sir,

we do remember that the military aid from the u. s. and other nato countries has been on the up a year on year and besides this, mr. prudent also said that he believes nato has already begun treating the ukrainian territory as a theater for it's further maneuvers and possibly even war. let's listen to what exactly mr. putin said on that certain amount of the, when it started to explore the territory of ukraine as the future theater of military action of the future battlefield. and it is aimed against russia. last year alone, it had more than 20000 troops and more than 1000 equipment hardware units. so yeah, i watched this address myself and you know, as he said, he could have done it in 5 minutes. but in fact, you talk about an hour and it was a bit of a hitch, a history lesson i sent learned quite a few things myself about russian ukrainian history and updated. it mentioned

something that had never mentioned before, and that was an encounter with a former us president bill clinton. what did he say about that earlier? that was more than 20 years ago when duncan was still president, a lame duck. however, in fact, that is still a major role in international politics and vladimir putin back then just stepped in, replacing a boris yeltsin mister. prudent said that he made a proposal that no one has ever heard of this the 1st time mister poo mentioned that. and at this time around are nowadays no apologies for cutting nuts package shorts. there is currently a meeting of the united nations security council on the way in new york and china is about to speak. so let's listen to what they have to say. helping a present all parties concerned must exercise, restrain junior and avoid any action that may fewer tensions. on that, we welcome and encourage every effort for it to panic, a diplomatic solution,

and call on all parties concerned to continue dialogue and consultation and seek reasonable solutions to address each other's concerns on the basis of what you quality and mutual respect. what can i do? the current situation in ukraine is a result of many complex factors from china always makes its own position according to the merits of the matter itself. who will you believe that all countries should solve international disputes by peaceful means in line with the purposes and principles of the un charter? i thank you mister president. i do think i thank the representative of china for his statement. i shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of the russian federation,

distinguished colleagues with we've just now heard a number of highly emotional statements, categorical assessments, and far reaching conclusions. related to the signing today by russia's president of decrees recognizing the guns continued people's republics, laid the direct verbal assaults against as an onset. now it's important to focus on how to avoid war and how to force ukraine to stop the shelling and provocations against genetic counter ganske you haven't heard from the statement of a number of colleagues. 1 may get the impression that rushes recognition of the piano and the dpr took place suddenly for no reason at all. of course, that's not the case. it should be remembered that the dpi and the piano declared the independence from ukraine. back in 2014. really mean we only

recognize them now despite the high level of support for doing so, both in the republics themselves and in russian society from the very beginning the time, the hope one out of the ukrainian, my gen regime would think again and would stop talking to their own citizens in the east, in the language of cannons, and shooting, and threats and selling time. and again, we firmly asked the key of to list to the aspirations of the people living in danberry and the russian speaking residence of the country. to respect their entirely legitimate desire to use their mother tongue and to teach their children in that language. and also to under the memories of those who liberated the land from fascists. rather than those who fought on the side of fascist and had a hand in the killing of hundreds and thousands of thousands of people during the 2nd world war was over after ukrainian military adventures. it up against the determination of the people of an african against to defend their lands. the men's

agreements were signed. the package of measures was adopted with the aim of implementing it. there was once again hope for peace and that they might, authorities, would be sensible. having exhausted the desire to submerged in yes, got guns in blood. there was a particularly great amount of hope invested in the election in 2019 of a new president of ukraine, who promised at long last to establish peace and on bath. however, those who hoped that the ukrainian authorities would take a peaceful stance were unfortunately mistaken. he of not only very quickly returned to its bellicose rhetoric and continued the showing of civilians, but also did everything it could to sabotage and ultimately destroy them in agreements. and most importantly, here is the flat refusal of kiev to speak directly with the representatives and yes guns against. despite the fact that this requirement is a central structural element of the package of measures,

an ambiguous confirmation of an unwillingness to engage in that dialogue is something we've had repeatedly from ukrainian leaders in the last few days, including from the opponent, representative ukraine during the security council meeting that we convened on the 17th of february to discuss the implementation of the minsk agreement. after that, it became clear once control that ukraine did not intend to implement them in sca agreements. and i would like to recall can remind my colleagues on the security council that in all other conflicts will be at libya. serial yemen when we all demand and call for direct dialogue between the parties to the conflict. and it's only in ukraine, for example, the ukraine, that is for some reason an exception to this rule was completed from some statements to day. 1 may understand that a number of our colleagues are ready to bury them into agreement. however, i would like to remind you that when the minister agreements were concluded and the

t p had already declared their independence fox. the fact that russia today recognize that in no way changes the make up of the parties to them in agreements because russia is not a party to them in agreement. we have repeatedly declared this. and in so doing, in this regard, nothing has changed. we do. it's another matter that the minister agreements part of the provisions of which were supposed to be implemented way back in 2015. what you have long openly been openly sabotaged by ukraine with the backing of our western college. and today we can see that many colleagues wanted to sign up for the idea that the missed agreements are dead, but that's not the case and is still bound to implement them. but we remain open to diplomacy for diplomatic solution. however, allowing new blood pass in the dawn bus or something we do not intend to do this.

unfortunately, we are forced to note the extremely negative role played in all of this by our western colleagues. lead by the usa instead of forcing key to implement its obligations, they have mainly been openly taking ukraine on repeating the meaningless mantra. that's the obligations under the mask agreement, not being implemented by russia, which is we've repeatedly, under god, is not even a party to the men's agreements. what is, moreover, well, for the last few weeks already whipping up unfounded panic around the allegedly impending russian invasion of ukraine. our western colleagues have been unashamedly cramming weapons into the country, sending instructors essentially nudging the ukrainians who have kind of concentrated a 120000 strong military contingent along the contact line towards an on provocation against john bass. the joint efforts of the west and ukraine have

inflated an air bubble that simply had to burst. and the past weekend has been a sharp increase in the intensity of ukrainian shilling, and of residential areas of lp and dpr. and the 101600 shells have been children, civilians have been killed. the territory of the republics has been penetrated by subversive groups who have carried out or tried to carry out sabotage of critical infrastructure. as i already said, there are casualties from among the civilian population. and dpr have declared general mobilization in russia, not ukraine, and that refugees have flooded to the last few days. the number of evacuated women, old people and children has reached around 60000 p 4. and russia is hosting them and putting that with conditions for them to be housed and supported and also been shelling of some towns and villages on russian territory near the border zone. and

so it has become clear that don bass is on the brink of a new ukranian military adventure, as was already the case in 20142015. when we cannot allow that, that is why the russian president, he did the opinion of parliamentarians and members of the russian security council and you know, the rest, a detailed statement from our head to stage about the reasons of this decision that has been taken was broadcast in detail by all the world's leading media. rather today it's true. we have heard an open distortion of what the president was talking about in his statement about history and the genesis of this situation. and about the fact that he allegedly said that he wants to reconstruct the russian empire. a distinguished colleague, i would like to call upon our western colleagues to think twice, to settle emotions to one side, and not to make the situation worse. no one other than you can hold back the

militaristic plans of kiev and force it to stop the shilling and provocations against the la guns canton. yes. can people's republics who in these new condition which in these new conditions could have extremely dangerous consequences? in accordance with the agreements that were signed today and on the basis of their request from the republic peacekeeping functions on their territories will be carried out by the armed forces of the russian federation was i am going to distinguish colleagues. in conclusion, i would like to note you this opinion that in today's statements, most of you did not find any place for the more than 4000000. the residence of john bass was. it's as though you've been counseling out from your statements from 2040 and generally i'm calling them progressions separate at the same time, you know, decided that the illegal qu in 2014 was david. and he wanted to discuss with us it is how their rights would be up. hello. that was all they wanted to do in the last

few days. with the sharp, intensification and military activity from the ukrainian army along the contact lines, the lives of hundreds of thousands of women, children and elderly persons have once again as in 20142015 turned up ended up and under real threats. and the main aim of our decision was to protect and preserve those people. and that is more important than all of your threats. thank you. just yeah, i resumed my function as president of the council. you know, to as well. my now get the floor to the permanent representative of ukraine. distinguished members. oh, the security council. on the secretary it is with an ease that i will now remove my musk.
