Russia will never allow Western dictate again. The path has been selected. We are returning to the roots, choosing the path of the Empire, where everyone will receive protection. Vladimir Putin’s main statements were made in the Kremlin.
The speech of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin is not only and not so much about Donbass and Ukraine. Putin spoke today about the essence of what is happening in the world. The reasons for the hybrid war of the collective West against the Russians. And, as a result, the roots of ongoing processes. But most importantly, Vladimir Putin has drawn a path from which we will not retreat.
No “obscene world”
“I want the Kyiv authorities and their real masters in the West to hear me, so that everyone remembers this. People living in Lugansk and Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporozhye become our citizens. Forever.”
“We call on the Kyiv regime to immediately cease fire, all hostilities – the war that it unleashed back in 2014, and return to the negotiating table.”
“We will defend our land with all the forces and means at our disposal, we will do everything to ensure the safe life of our people. This is the great liberation mission of our people.”
“Truth” of the West Russia will never accept
“It is the so-called West that has 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 does not, who is not worthy of it. Why do they decide this? Who gave them such a right is incomprehensible. It is not clear to themselves.”
“We can only hear from all sides: the West defends an order based on rules. Where did they come from? Who even saw these rules? Who agreed? This is just some kind of nonsense! Solid deception, double or triple standards. a great millennial power, a country-civilization, and will not live according to such rigged, false rules!
“This West has no moral right to give assessments, even to stutter about freedom, democracy. There is not and never was.”
Russia will not turn into the USSR, but will return to the status of the Empire
“After the collapse of the USSR, the West decided that we would always put up with its dictates, and Russia would fall apart on its own. But Russia was reborn, strengthened and again took its rightful place in the world. The West has always dreamed of splitting Russia and pitting its peoples against each other.”
“Russia is fighting for a free path of development without dictate and despotism. As it was, it will no longer be… The battlefield is for great historical Russia… The truth is behind us. Russia is behind us.”
