so, we have just witnessed, without exaggeration, a historical event in the kremlin , a solemn ceremony was held, the signing of agreements on the accession of the donetsk people's republic of the luhansk people's republic of

kherson zaporozhye region to the russian federation, these documents were signed by vladimir putin and the leaders of the new regions denis pushilin leonid pasechnik evgeny balitsky and vladimir salda preceded this lengthy detailed statement by the russian president in his speech. he also talked about history. i'm geopolitics but chief he spoke about choice and justice, and according to vladimir putin, a referendum in the donetsk people's republic of the lugansk people's republic in kherson and in the zaporozhye region, and today's signing of these documents that just happened means that the inhabitants of these regions. always becoming citizens of russia is their choice. this is their will said, the president and russia will never betray. eh, in my speech. vladimir putin urged to remember those who died in the struggle for the

freedom of donbass, the heroes of the russian spring promised that russia will ensure the security of new territories, restore infrastructure and improve life, urged vladimir putin not to forget the lessons of history, which are in many ways the keys to understanding what is happening now, including on the territory of e-ukraine well , let's now recall some e fragments from the speech of vladimir putin, who are now simply dismantled for quotes by news agencies. ah, let's, uh, now a few snippets. eh, let's listen. for example. the first thing worth note. we will always remember the heroes of the russian spring, those who did not reconcile themselves, in 2014, with the nazi coup d'état in ukraine, everyone who died for the right to speak their native

language to preserve their culture traditions faith for the right to live this war, the martyrs of odessa khatyn , the victims of inhuman terrorist attacks arranged by the kiev regime. these are 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 combat commanders. arsen pavlov and vladimir zhogov olga kachur and aleksey conversations are the prosecutor of the luhansk republic cigaring. this is paratrooper nurmagomed gadzhimugomedov. all our soldiers and officers and by the death of the brave during a special military operation they are heroes. heroes of great russia and

i ask for a moment of silence almost in memory a statement that really really is now becoming quotes inscribed in history today there was a lot of this and the phrase that we will defend our earth with all the forces and means we have. this is what the peoples donbass are also the peoples of e regions who e wanted to be part of russia and expressed their right and earned their right to be part of russia by voting in a referendum uh means that these people of these regions with russia will forever quote. this is the will of millions of people, and this is their

right, enshrined in the first article of the un, an inalienable right to self-determination. lei , the last leaders of the soviet union, contrary to the direct will of the majority of people in the 1991 referendum, destroyed our great country of the people just before the fact. i admit that they did not even fully understand what they were doing and what consequences it would inevitably lead to in the end, but this is no longer important for the soviet union, there is no return of the past. 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, there is nothing stronger than the determination of these people to return to their true true historical fatherland well, let's remember one more phrase that the president said today, that we will defend our earth with all the forces and means we have, but today, in his speech, vladimir putin also called on kiev to immediately stop hostilities and sit down at the negotiating table. at the same time, the choice of peoples, as vladimir putin said, will not be discussed, the people have already made their choice. i want the kiev authorities and their real masters in the west to hear me, so that all the people living in lugansk remember this donetsk kherson and zaporozhye 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 relate to this free dismissal of people. sincerely , and nothing else. only this way can be the way to world, we will defend our earth with all the forces and means at our disposal and will do everything to ensure the safe life of our people in this great liberation mission of our people. today we will often return to the

words that vladimir putin said before the document was signed, according to which both the donetsk and luhansk people's republics, as well as the zaporozhye and kherson regions. uh, become part of the russian federation there, of course, the legal process is quite complicated, which is was launched today and will be. uh, accordingly, on this occasion, the signing and in the lower house of the russian parliament in the upper house in the constitutional court, but the most important point in this matter has already been made. well now what? let's see what is happening now in the luhansk people's republic and, let's remember what happened there in recent days. so, the turnout in the lugansk people's republic in the referendum exceeded 92%, and about 600,000 people voted and more than 98% of those who voted were in favor of joining the republic. get in touch with us now from the lugansk people's republic my colleague

shelled by all donetsk mission buildings. he, but they couldn't miss this rally concert. couldn't get together. you hear what emotions people have now, of course it remains. well, just a small formality, when the signed document will already be ratified by the federation. assembly, we people, in fact, already feel like part of russia they are already russians dmitry yes yegor thank you , our special correspondent yegor grigoriev was in direct contact with us from lugansk, let 's remind you a little about how the referendum went and participation in the donetsk people's republic, uh, accepted more than 2 million people turnout was 97.5% and now almost 100% voted for the accession of the republic to russia, the head of the dpr, denis pushilin, immediately after receiving the results. i sent appeals to the russian authorities with a request to support the accession of the republic to russia as subjects of the federation ; this was done, of course. well, now let's actually move to donetsk city in the morning and, uh, until

now, u continues to shell. unfortunately, shelling is being carried out from the apu at the same time. the mood there, of course, is festive, what is happening now in the city we will find out from our special correspondent boris maksudov is in direct contact with us. greetings, tell us how donetsk met the news about the signing of agreements, what is happening on the street now? and welcome. well , here we are in the very center of donetsk in the heart of the city today here +25 is such a russian spring, uh, in the midst of donbass autumn. well, the mood in donetsk today is characterized by the fact that there is absolute silence here for several hours. in the sense that only the usual sounds of a busy city are heard, they stopped shooting at the center. don't know how donetsk whether it is directly related or not to today's historical event, but this is what, in fact , the inhabitants of the donetsk people's republic are waiting for what is commonly called a peaceful sky above their heads,

when you don't have to look at the sky or hear the whistle of shells, when you can live and walk in peace. e around the city major events. now deployed on the saurmogil. this is such a sacred holy place - a monument of the times of the great patriotic war. there, hundreds of people listened and watched, then a 22 -minute broadcast of 22 minutes, which certainly shocked the whole world and mass events in donetsk itself were canceled today. clear. for security reasons, but even such a fact of constant shelling e could not spoil the mood , just as they could not break the inhabitants. uh, the donbass is behind a five-day marathon, behind 8 1/2 years under shelling and behind 32 years of returning home. only in this way they call today's events differently here in the donbass, which without switching. hundreds of thousands of people have been waiting, voted voted here unanimously 5 days people literally

lined up at the polling stations. and of course, today is a truly festive day, even. if you walk down the street now, almost every second person will congratulate you on the holiday and have really been waiting for this for a long time, but most of all they are waiting for a peaceful sky above their heads, this is really true, because the situation at the front is still not just knees. really. so you remember about these eight years during all these eight years and the phrase sounded in russian society. let's get our people back home. thank you boris , our special correspondent boris maksudov was on direct communication with us from donetsk. well, let's remember again. uh, like uh, this event took place a few minutes ago, a historical event. in the kremlin, when the ceremony of signing this historic treaty on the accession of the donetsk people's republic of the luhansk people's republic of kherson zaporizhia region to the russian federation was held, and these documents were signed by vladimir putin

and the leaders of the new regions denis pushilin leonid pasechnik evgeny balitsky vladimir balance and was preceded by a long detailed speech by the russian leader, who spoke about the history of geopolitics. well, the main thing, of course, he spoke about the choice of the people and their right to this choice. here, according to putin, he also recalled this referendum in the donetsk lugansk people's republic in kherson in zaporozhye. today's signing of documents means that the inhabitants of these regions will forever become citizens of russia once again. i will quote. this is their choice. it is their will and russia will never betray this choice. and also vladimir putin urged to remember always remember those who died in the struggle for the freedom of heroes. uh, donbass well, let's go directly to the statements that vladimir putin made today, he said, uh hmm, very much about many things and about

the fact that the peoples of these territories have returned to the russian federation forever. with russia, he called on kiev to immediately stop hostilities and sit down at the negotiating table, saying that we will defend our earth with all the forces we have and means, a spoke, he also spoke about history, including the history of relations between russia and the west, which had different pages. and here, uh, vladimir putin could not comment. uh, what is u going on in this west and uh, what does russia categorically disagree with? for the preparation to step over everything in order to preserve that non-colonial system that allows him to parasitize, in fact rob the world at the expense of the power of the dollar and the technological dictator, collect a real tribute for humanity, 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 sovereignty, hence their aggression towards an independent state, towards traditional values ​​and 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 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. the protectorates of the colony and semi-colony are on them anyway, just to get their own benefit. well, russia at one time did not agree to be part of these colonies and did not allow itself or its resources to be pulled apart. uh in this as if russia is a colony. well, uh, this is just in time for another plant in the speech of vladimir putin, who talked about why the west sees the danger in our country, it has always seen and, probably, will always see together we will do it in such a way that i want to emphasize once again precisely in greed in the intention to maintain their unrestricted power and there are real reasons for the hybrid war that the collective west is waging against russia. they do not want us to be free, but they want to see us as colonies. although

they want not equal cooperation, but robbery to see us as an unfree society, but as a crowd of soulless slaves. for them, our thought and philosophy are a direct threat, and therefore our philosophers are being attacked. our culture is a danger to them, art, so our development is trying to come and prosperity is also a storm for him. 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. also in his speech, the president, in absentia

, turned to the countries of the west, first of all to the leaders of european states, but again, in a conversation about history, i will remind them that, in fact, cooperation with the united states is a quote, lakiness and a direct betrayal of their peoples . well, one more quote in the speech of vladimir putin no moral right to even stutter democracy. the west does not, and never had then in 1990 the so-called west trampled on the principle of the inviolability of borders. and now on my own decides in its sole discretion who has the right to self-determination. and who is not? who doesn't deserve it? why do they decide so? who gave them such a right is unclear to themselves. that is why they are wildly angry the choice of people in the crimea in sevastopol in donetsk lugansk zaporozhye and kherson no moral
