in the literal sense of the word, these wounded lands also shed blood. the inhabitants of these very different lands, of course, see their future exclusively with russia, a lot was said about this at various levels. and we all saw footage of the referendum within the framework of which the main question was people. have people finally heard and heard us, and, of course, they are ready to protect it, obviously completely, that this is protection for them. today, first of all, of course, it is necessary to protect its western sponsors from the kiev regime, who are ready to continue, judging by to supply endless weapons to everything. and, of course, to sponsor the kiev regime with money in order to essentially plant the nazi regime. well , or he’s not a nazi, if you like, ideology is precisely with this today. residents categorically disagree , including donbass residents of kherson residents of zaporozhye residents of russia because after the entry of these four territories into the russian federation, all the inhabitants of these will cease, of course,

russian citizens and this of course, the most important changes that will happen literally in a minute for a minute today on the sidelines of the official signing ceremony of the treaty on the entry of four new territories into russia. it is known that russian president vladimir putin these very territories. and , of course, the president's keynote speech. the press secretary of the head of state, dmitry peskov, spoke about this the day before and it will be quite voluminous, and it will obviously concern all the processes taking place now. we are waiting for the price of the head of state and of course we will show them on our live broadcast. well and after i analyze with the experts, it will not be long to wait. we see that now everything is ready in the st. george hall for the start of the ceremony, the guests have gathered. they sit in their places.

the governors of the russian regions and deputies of the state duma and, of course, the senators of the soviet federation passed by us, as we are working right now. absolutely all the guests who are present here in the large kremlin palace are also represented here in the large kremlin palace. today, all of them we talked about how significant this step is in the current situation, of course, we can talk a lot about its moral significance. it is very high. russia does not abandon its own. this is a phrase that has become commonplace in recent years and really helps. well, in particular the donbass. in recent years, it has been very active and has not stopped, because people from donbass have applied for this help, but now we actually see not only real, but also a legally formalized promise of help. this is probably the most important thing today they are looking for residents of kherson, zaporozhye, donetsk and lugansk, and of course, their will expressed in a referendum in this case is primary. and, of course,

it is absolutely obvious that this will be a new step in relations with the west. here, it is unlikely that anyone has any illusions, because in general, the most diverse international organizations are representatives of various states. the west has already stated that they will never recognize referendums. this, despite the fact that they passed in full accordance with the norms of international law, however, this surprised, of course, in the current situation is no longer necessary many times. such a selective approach was seen by those same double standards, which are talked about a lot, but nonetheless. whatever the relationship to this west. the first gradual value in this situation, of course, is the opinion of the people. and this is very important in the current situation. we keep waiting for the start. for the special ceremony, i once again return to the st. george hall, where absolutely everything is already ready. we are waiting for the president. we are waiting for the official signing contracts, while i pass the floor to the studio. yes, anastasia

thank you very much , my colleague anastasia yefimova is currently working in the grand kremlin palace. the ceremony of signing agreements on the entry into russia of four new regions of the donetsk lugansk people's republics, as well as the zaporozhye and kherson regions, we are talking about regions with a population of more than ten million people from a territory of more than 100,000 m² in total, the vast majority of the inhabitants of all four territories voted in referendums to join the russia so today four agreements on the admission of new subjects will be signed, but before that there will be a big speech by vladimir putin, the presidential press secretary. dmitry peskov said earlier that it would be a voluminous performance. in addition, it is known that the president will also hold meetings with the main, liberated territories, well,

at the ceremony in cream. now not only the head of the liberated territories has arrived, but also the leaders of all russian regions, and there are also state duma deputies and senators. so the entry of new regions into russia became possible after moscow recognized their independence corresponding decrees post zaporozhye and kherson regions. vladimir putin signed the day before the independence of the donetsk and luhansk people's republics. moscow recognized in february. to be more precise, on february 21

, 2022, shortly before the start of the special operation, then vladimir putin signed two more treaties of friendship and mutual assistance. and by the way, in february, the ceremony was held in the catherine’s hall of the kremlin on behalf of the self-proclaimed republics in 2014 then the treaties were signed by the heads of these republics, where they did not push. well, that's the donetsk people's republic or not. a beekeeper from the luhansk people's republic. referendums on the entry of the republics of donbass as well as the zaporozhye and kherson regions into russia were held from september 23 to 27. the voting took place

within 5 days and the questions that were submitted to this referendum. of course, they differed in the republics of donbass and in the zaporizhzhya kherson region, and in the republics of donbass , residents had to answer only one question. you were in favor of joining russia as a subject of the russian federation, it was necessary to answer yes or no, while in kherson, because of the porozhye regions, residents had to answer three questions at once. they made a decision to secede from ukraine, declaring independence and then joining russia as a subject of the russian federation, and so, according to the results of processing 100% blue in the donetsk people's republic, more than ninety-nine percent voted in favor of the lpr 98.5% in kherson voted for joining russia

87% and in zaporizhzhya more than 93% of voters and previously the press secretary of the president. dmitry peskov said that the admission of the republics of donbass will be within the boundaries of 2014. and as for the kherson and zaporozhye regions. here, the presidential press secretary promised to clarify this issue a little later.

vladimir putin said from the very beginning that russia would support the decision taken by the residents of donbass in the zaporozhye and kherson regions, and presidential press secretary dmitry peskov noted that after the entry of new territories into our country, strikes against these regions will be considered as an act of aggression against russia and kherson, respectively. e. zaporozhye zaporozhye region. now partly

controlled by ukrainian troops and zaporozhye in particular is also under the control of ukrainian troops, so it was decided that a in as part of russia, the administrative center of the zaporozhye region will become, the city of melitopol is an administrative one, and according to the legislative procedure , it is also necessary to say a few words about how the process of joining the regions into russia will take place after today's ceremony of signing the treaties, the president, by law, must apply to the constitutional court, which will check the signed documents for compliance with the basic law and the rule of law, then if no, the court will send the treaties for ratification to the parliament. as the state duma and the federation council are expected to hold a meeting on this topic early next week and then ratify the treaties. how long it will take, of course, is still

difficult to predict, but we can remember that and when the process of joining crimea and sevastopol to russia took place, then the ratification and signing of all agreements took 3 days. well, in the kremlin , the ceremony of signing agreements should begin any minute, and my colleague anastasia yefimova anastasia continues to work there. we now we see it live on the broadcast. what is happening in the st. george's hall, but you , as far as i understand, are standing right now, and in the st. george's hall, unfortunately, i can't see you. tell us what's going on and what do you see? yes, yes, what, we really are next to the st. george hall. this is how i can put it. of course, we can tell you that we are not only visible about what we have not seen today. this is generally very interesting, it is clear that the current situation in the world. she is very the tense and so-called collective west, of

course, is doing everything to escalate the atmosphere , but today is absolutely special. whatever the situation in the world and all the guests who came here today , ministers, deputies, senators to the question. what mood they arrived at the ceremony spoke with good, because the events that will take place literally in the very near future in the st. george hall of the grand kremlin palace. this is, of course, a historic landmark event. these words. we spoke in 2014 when crimea entered the russian federation well, or it would be more accurate to say these words returned to their native harbor. well, we certainly repeat and today when four new territories enter. becoming russia for them is also in many ways a historically cultural return to their homeland, because judging by the results of the referendum, these people see themselves as part of the russian world, and this is

what they talked about when they went to the referendum, casting their vote. let me remind you that for the sake of security, the referendum had to be held in special conditions. only one out of five days voted at the polling stations. all the rest of the time. people put their votes, put a tick in the column in one or another, depending on their beliefs on the ground, and members of the election commissions came to them, including at home or at work, and so every time people cast their vote. in fact, they said that they connect their future with russia because they feel that they belong to this very russian world. these words may seem rather abstract to some, but how we have seen over the past eight years they have a very specific meaning, because it is for belonging. to the russian world precisely for its unwillingness to come to terms with the results of the

coup d'état that happened in ukraine in 2014 all the last 8 years. it is quite obvious that it is not necessary to explain in donetsk or lugansk what today's accession to the russian federation is, but in recent months after the start of a special military operation. this tough, bloody fragment of the kiev regime was also seen by the residents of zaporizhzhya and kherson. so their elections, expressed in the framework of the referendum, are certainly also very logical, probably, well, of course, indicative. that's talking about the numbers figures are absolutely incredible or any referendum that has ever been held in history 99% of donetsk were in favor of joining russia 98.5 in luhansk a little less. about 90 zaporozhye and kherson, and these, of course, are numbers that cannot be tolerated no double interpretations clearly indicate what decision was made by the inhabitants of this very earth. so, of course, today, when they say that it is the same, that

it is historical, this is really not a figure of speech and not an exaggeration in any way for all recent days. we heard a lot of very different statements , first of all, of course, from the side of the country of the west and from the side of the kiev regime, statements that tried to scare people, tried to influence them , even tried to shell them, and in general did. this, unfortunately, from kiev this does not happen all the time, but here are the very people who voted in the referendum. it did not frighten their choice unconditionally. worth respect. these people have been heard. these people have the right to protection and russia is ready to protect them. much has been said about this, that any rat against these territories, which will already be part of the russian federation, is assessed as aggression against the country. and this is very important to understand today for all those who continue to sponsor the kiev regime not only weapons, but also money in this

situation, of course, the statement sounds as clear as possible on our part, does not tolerate different interpretations, but he will hear for us this time. in fact, there are not very many illusions, since, apparently , what is happening, the collective west is not yet ready to part with the very familiar model within which it can do whatever it wants, and for this, nothing seems to happen to it, that the oldest world order, which, apparently, is still a thing of the past, and the new one, which comes will be more fair. i am again quoting the president's speech the day before, at a meeting with the heads of the intelligence services of the cis member states, these words, which really reflect the global processes that are taking place today all over the globe, there are no exceptions here. even those people who live very far from understanding the essence of the radical change taking place now in the balance of power on the world stage, of course, cannot

from this point of view. of course, everything that is happening these days and today is like a culmination all passing processes. they are very important. here we see guests in the st. george hall and, of course, the heads of the four territories that are now entering the russian federation, it is very curious to observe mixed emotions behind them. they have on the one hand an incredible joy or kavania. this is understandable, because they, as representatives of the interests of the inhabitants of these very territories, of course, can not fail to understand that the day when the official agreement will be signed. this is the day when the voice of these very people will be heard from the other side, certainly. they are very excited about these shots that we receive in the st. george hall, this is evident, because this is indeed a historical choice that was made and, of course, a choice for which absolutely all of us should be responsible, and i think that today there are illusions on this there is no one to be held responsible for their own decisions. russia

has always got used to it, it has always been like this without exception in all periods of its history, unlike our opponents, who have never done this right now broadcast from the st. george hall of the kremlin thank you, please, good good. dear citizens of russia, citizens of the donetsk and lugansk people's republics, residents of zaporozhye and kherson regions , deputies of the state duma, senators of the russian federation, do you know that referendums were held in the donetsk and lugansk people's republics of zaporozhye and kherson regions? their results

summed up the results are known. people made their choice unequivocally. today we are signing agreements on the admission of donetsk to russia people's republic of the lugansk people's republic of zaporizhia oblast and kherson oblast. i am confident that the federal assembly will support the constitutional laws on the adoption and formation in russia of four new regions of four new constituent entities of the russian federation, because this is the will of millions of people. and this, of course, is their right, an inalienable right, which is enshrined in the first article of the un charter, where

it is directly stated. about the principle, equality and self-determination of peoples. i repeat. this is the inalienable right of people, it is based on the historical unity, in the name of which the generation of our ancestors won, those who here are the origins of ancient russia for centuries created and defended russia here in new russia, the rumyants fought. in suvorov and ushakov founded new cities of catherine ii and darkness. here our grandfathers and great-grandfathers stood to death during the great patriotic war. we will always remember the heroes of the russian spring, those who did not come to terms with the neo-nazi coup d'état in ukraine in 2014, all those who died for the right to speak their native language to preserve their culture traditions faith for the right to live is the war of donbass, the

martyrs of odessa khatyn, the victims of inhuman terrorist attacks staged by the kiev regime, these volunteers and militias. these are civilians. children , women, old people, russian ukrainians, people of various nationalities. this is the real people's leader of donetsk alexander zakharchenko, these are combat commanders arsen pavlov and vladimir zhogo olga kochura and alexei are talking. this is the prosecutor of the lugansk republic goring cigar. this is paratrooper nurmagomed. gadzhi magomedov, all our soldiers and officers who fell died. all the brave in the course special military operation they are the heroes of the heroes of great russia and i ask you to count the minutes of silence

thank you for the choice of millions of residents in the donetsk and lugansk people's republics of zaporozhye and kherson regions, our common destiny and a thousand-year history is a spiritual connection people passed on to their children and grandchildren. despite all the trials, the love for russia was carried through the years and no one can destroy this feeling in us. that is why both the older generations and the youth. those who were born after the tragedy of the collapse of the soviet union voted for our unity for our common future. in 1991 in belovezhskaya pushcha, without

asking the will of ordinary citizens, representatives of the then party elites decided to collapse the ussr and people suddenly found themselves torn from their homeland, this tore apart alive, dismembered our people's community, turned into a national catastrophe, as once after the revolution behind the scenes cut the borders of the union republics, so the last leaders of the soviet union, contrary to the direct will of the majority of people on referendum in 1991. ruined our great country put the people just before the fact. i admit that they didn’t even fully understand what they were doing and what consequences it would inevitably lead to in the end, but it doesn’t matter the soviet union does not have the past to return. yes, and russia today

is no longer needed. we do not strive for this, but there is nothing stronger than the determination of millions of people who, according to their culture, believe in the traditions of the language , consider themselves part of russia, whose ancestors lived in the united state for centuries nothing is stronger than the determination of these people to return to their true, to their true historical fatherland. for a long 8 years, people in the donbass were subjected to genocide by shelling and blockade, and in kherson zaporozhye, they tried to criminally cultivate hatred of russia for everything russian. now, during the referendums, the kiev regime threatened school teachers with death , women who worked in the voter commission, intimidated with repression millions of people who came to express their will, but not broken, the people of

donbass zaporozhye kherson said their word. i want the kiev authorities and their real masters in the west to hear me, so that all the people living in lugansk, donetsk, kherson, zaporizhia will remember this and become our citizens forever. we call on the kiev regime to immediately cease fire all hostilities in the war that it unleashed back in 2014 and return to the negotiating table. we are ready for this. it has been said more than once, but we will not discuss the choice of the people in donetsk lugansk zaporozhye kherson. it's done.

russia will not betray him. and today's kiev authorities should treat this free will of the people with respect and nothing else. this is the only way to peace, we will defend our earth with all the forces and means we have and will do everything to ensure the safe life of our people in this great liberation mission of our people. we will definitely rebuild the destroyed cities and towns , housing, the school of the hospital, the theater and the museum will be restored and we will develop industrial enterprises, factories, the infrastructure of the social pension system providing health care and education. of course. we will work

together to improve the level of security so that citizens in the new regions feel the support of the entire people of russia, the entire country, all the republics of all the territories and regions of our vast motherland. dear friends, colleagues, today i want to appeal to the soldiers and officers who are participating in a special military operation for the wars of donbass and new russia, to those who, after the decree on partial mobilization, join the ranks of the armed forces, fulfilling their patriotic duty, who is himself? at the call of the heart, he comes to the military registration and enlistment offices, i want to turn to their parents, wives, and children to tell about what our people are fighting for. what enemy opposes us, who throws the world into new wars and crises, extracting their

bloody profit from this tragedy, our compatriots, our brothers and sisters in ukraine, the native part of our united people. they saw with their own eyes what the ruling circles of the so-called west are preparing for all mankind. here they are in essence. just dropped the masks showed their true after the collapse of the soviet union, the west decided that the world would all of us forever have to put up with its dictator then in 1991 the west expected that russia would not recover from such shocks, and then it would fall apart on its own. we remember the nineties, the terrible nineties, hungry cold and hopeless, but russia withstood, reborn, strengthened , again took its rightful place in the world. at the same time, the west has been looking for and continues to look for a new chance all this time. hit us, weaken and destroy

russia the state to pit peoples among themselves to doom them to poverty and extinction. they are simply haunted that there is such a great huge country in the world with its territory of natural wealth and resources with a people who cannot and will never live on someone else's orders for preparation to step over everything to preserve that non-colonial system that allows them to parasitize , essentially plunder the world at the expense of the power of the dollar and the technological dictator. to collect a real tribute from humanity to extract the main the source of unearned prosperity is the rent of the hegemon. the maintenance of this rent is their key genuine absolutely selfish motive. that is why their interests are in the total statehood, hence their aggression towards an independent state, towards

traditional values ​​and towards original cultures , attempts to undermine the international and integration processes that are not under their control, new world currencies and centers of technological development , it is critically important for them that all countries surrender their sovereignty in favor of the united states ruling the tops of some states voluntarily agree to do this voluntarily agree to become vassals others buy intimidate, and if it doesn’t work, they destroy entire states, leaving behind humanitarian catastrophes disasters the ruins of millions of ruined mangled human destinies of the terrorist enclaves of the zone. disaster protectorates of the colony and semi-colony on them anyway, just to get their benefits. i want to emphasize once again precisely in greed in the intention to

maintain its unlimited power and there is the real reasons for the hybrid war that the collective west is waging against russia. they don’t want freedom, they want to see us. the colonies want unequal cooperation and robbery. they want to see us as an unfree society, but a crowd of soulless slaves. for them, our thought and philosophy are a direct threat, and therefore our philosophers are encroached upon. our culture is a danger to them, art, so our development of prosperity is also a threat to them. they don't need competition at all. we need russia. i want to remind you that the claims to world

domination. in the past, the courage and resilience of our people have been developed more than once. russia will always be russia, and now we will protect both our values ​​and our homeland, the west is counting on impunity for the fact that it will get away with everything. yes, in fact, everything has come from the hands so far. agreements in the area of ​​strategic security are thrown into the wastebasket agreements reached at the highest political level are declared to be fiction a firm promise not to expand nato eastward bought them. our former leaders turned into a dirty deception of the treaty on anti- missile defense and medium -range missiles, unilaterally under false pretenses. only hear from all sides for the experience to uphold the order based on the rules. where did they come from? who even saw these rules? who agreed? look, this is just

bullshit. a complete deception, double or already triple standards for fools are simply calculated by russia, the great, thousand-year-old, power, the country of civilization, and according to such rigged false rules will not live. it was the so-called west that trampled on the principle of the inviolability of borders. and now, at its own discretion, decides who has the right to self-determination. and who is not? who doesn't deserve it? why does he decide so? who who gave them such a right is unclear to themselves. that is why they cause wild anger the choice of people in the crimea in sevastopol in donetsk lugansk zaporozhye and kherson no moral right to give him

an assessment, even to stutter about the freedom of democracy. this west has no, and never had. western elites deny not only national sovereignty , their international law kimo does not have a pronounced, pronounced character of totalitarianism, despotism and apartment. they are brazenly deeds. it is peacefully their vassals in the so-called civilized countries and in all the rest, then, according to the plan of today's western racists, should join the list of barbarians and savages. the living labels of the rogue country of the authoritarian regime are ready. they curse entire nations and states, and this is not the case. nothing new. there is nothing new in this. western elites. what were such and remained colonial they discriminate, divide the people into the first and other grades. we have never accepted and will never accept such

political nationalism. and what does russophobia mean to me as racism? we are now spreading all over the world, what, if not racism, is the peremptory convinced of the west that its civilization does not have a liberal culture - this is an indisputable model for the whole world, whoever is not with us is against us. strange, even all this sounds, even repentance for their own historical crimes western elites, uh, they shift it onto everyone else, demanding both from the citizens of their country and from other peoples to obey for what they have nothing to do with at all, for example, for the period of colonial entry. it is worth reminding the west that he began his colonial policy back in the middle ages, and why did the world slave trade then follow the genocide of indian tribes in america, the plunder of india, africa, the wars of england and france

against china, as a result of which he would be forced to open his ports for the opium trade, then, what they did hooked entire nations on drugs purposefully exterminated entire ethnic groups for the sake of land and resources organized a real hunt for people, as for animals, this is contrary to the very nature of man, truth, freedom and justice. and we are proud that in the 20th century it was our country that led the anti-colonial movement, which opened up opportunities for development for many peoples of the world in order to reduce poverty and inequality, to overcome hunger and disease western elites in relation to russia is precisely that we did not allow ourselves to be robbed ahead of the colonial entry forced the europeans. it was possible to achieve this by

creating a strong centralized state in russia, which developed and strengthened itself on the basis of great moral values. orthodoxy islam judaism and buddhism. on the basis of russian culture and the russian word, open to all, it is known that intervention plans were repeatedly made in russia, they tried to use the time of troubles of the beginning of the 18th century and the period of upheavals after 1917 failed yes, the west managed to seize the wealth of russia still managed to get at the end of the 20th century, when the state was destroyed then they called us both friends and partners, but in fact they treated us like the colonies pumped a trillion dollars out of the country according to various schemes of thought, we remember everything, we didn’t forget anything in these days, people in donetsk

luhansk in kherson and zaporozhye spoke out in favor of restoring our historical unity. thanks to the western side, they have been repeating for centuries that they bring freedom to other people in democracy, everything is exactly the opposite, instead of democracy suppression and exploitation instead of freedom, enslavement and violence. there is a unipolar world order that is anti-democratic and not free in its essence, it is deceitful and a hypocrite through and through. the united states is the only country in the world to use nuclear weapons twice, destroying the japanese cities of hiroshima and nagasaki, by the way, setting a precedent. let me remind you that the united states, together with the british, turned

dresden hamburger and many other german cities into ruins without any military necessity during world war ii, and this was done defiantly, without any. i repeat that the military goal was only the same, as in the case of nuclear bombing tracks in japan, to intimidate both our country and the whole world. the united states left a terrible mark on the memory of the people in korea and vietnam with barbaric carpet bombing using napalm and chemical weapons, and is still actually occupying germany, japan, the republic of korea, and other countries, while cynically calling them equal allies. listen, i wonder what kind of alliance this is, but the whole world knows what kind of leaders these merging countries, the first persons of these states install listening devices not only

in office, but also in residential premises. this is a real shame, a shame for those who do this and for those who, like slaves, silently and meekly swallow this rudeness. orders are rude insulting roundabouts addressed to their vassals. they call the euro-atlantic solidarity the development of biological weapons of experience on living people, including in ukraine, noble medical research precisely by their destructive policy of wars robbery. they provoked today's colossal surge in migration flows. millions of people who suffer deprivation of mockery die by the thousands, trying to get to the same europe, they are now exporting bread from ukraine where it goes under the pretext of ensuring food security, the poorest countries in the world, where it goes yes, everything goes to the same european countries. there
