Expensive citizens of Russia, citizens of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, citizens of the Zaporozhye and Kherson locations, deputies of the State Duma, and senators of the Russian Federation!
You know, referendums were held in the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, Zaporozhye and Kherson areas. Their final results have been summed up, the success are recognized. People designed their decision, a clear selection.
Today we are signing agreements on the admission of the Donetsk People’s Republic, the Luhansk People’s Republic, the Zaporizhia Area and the Kherson Location to Russia. I am sure that the Federal Assembly will assistance the constitutional laws on the adoption and formation in Russia of 4 new areas, 4 new topics of the Russian Federation, simply because this is the will of tens of millions of folks.
And this, of course, is their correct, their inalienable right, which is enshrined in the to start with short article of the UN Constitution, which specifically speaks of the basic principle of equivalent rights and self-determination of peoples.
I repeat: this is an inalienable suitable of people today, it is primarily based on historical unity, in the identify of which the generations of our ancestors received, people who from the origins of Historical Russia for hundreds of years designed and defended Russia. Listed here, in Novorossia, Rumyantsev, Suvorov and Ushakov fought, Catherine II and Potemkin founded new metropolitan areas. In this article our grandfathers and wonderful-grandfathers stood to demise throughout the Fantastic Patriotic War.
We will often don’t forget the heroes of the ‘Russian spring’, these who did not arrive to phrases with the neo-Nazi coup in Ukraine in 2014, all those who died for the proper to communicate their indigenous language, protect their culture, traditions, faith, for the right to reside.
These are the warriors of Donbass, the martyrs of the ‘Odessa Khatyn’, the victims of inhuman terrorist attacks staged by the Kyiv routine. These are volunteers and militias, these are civilians, young children, females, aged persons, Russians, Ukrainians, individuals of several nationalities.
This is the true people’s leader of Donetsk Alexander Zakharchenko, these are army commanders Arsen Pavlov and Vladimir Zhoga, Olga Kochura and Alexei Mozgovoy, this is the prosecutor of the Luhansk Republic Sergey Gorenko. This is paratrooper Nurmagomed Gadzhimagomedov and all our troopers and officers who died the loss of life of the courageous through a unique army procedure.
They are heroes. Heroes of good Russia. And I talk to you to honor their memory with a moment of silence. Thank you.
Driving the decision of millions of inhabitants in the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics, in the Zaporozhye and Kherson locations is our frequent future and a thousand-calendar year background. Persons handed on this non secular link to their little ones and grandchildren. Regardless of all the trials, they carried through the a long time love for Russia. And no one particular can demolish this experience in us. That is why equally the older generations and the youth, those people who had been born just after the tragedy of the collapse of the Soviet Union, voted for our unity, for our common upcoming.
In 1991, in Belovezhskaya Pushcha, without having inquiring the will of normal citizens, representatives of the then bash elites decided to collapse the USSR, and people abruptly found themselves lower off from their homeland. This tore apart, dismembered our people’s community, turned into a national disaster.
As as soon as after the revolution the borders of the union republics were being reduce powering the scenes, so the previous leaders of the Soviet Union, contrary to the immediate expression of the will of the the vast majority of the persons in the 1991 referendum, ruined our good place, simply just put the people today in advance of the fact.
I confess that they did not even thoroughly comprehend what they ended up accomplishing and what repercussions this would inevitably direct to in the end. But it doesn’t make a difference any more. There is no Soviet Union, the past can not be returned. Of course, and Russia nowadays does not require it any more, we are not striving for this.
But there is nothing more powerful than the resolve of tens of millions of people today who, by their culture, faith, traditions, language, contemplate on their own portion of Russia, whose ancestors lived in a solitary point out for hundreds of years. There is almost nothing more powerful than the resolve of these persons to return to their correct, historical Fatherland.
For a long 8 several years, men and women in the Donbass have been subjected to genocide, shelling and blockade, and in Kherson and Zaporozhye they tried using to criminally cultivate hatred for Russia, for almost everything Russian. Now, now all through the referendums, the Kyiv regime threatened with violence, death to college academics, gals who labored in election commissions, intimidated thousands and thousands of people today who came to express their will with repressions. But the unbroken men and women of Donbass, Zaporozhye and Kherson experienced their say.
I want the Kyiv authorities and their serious masters in the West to listen to me, so that anyone remembers this: people living in Lugansk and Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporozhye turn into our citizens forever. (Applause.)
We connect with on the Kyiv routine to quickly stop fireplace, all hostilities, the war that it unleashed back in 2014, and return to the negotiating table. We are completely ready for this, it has been explained a lot more than at the time. But we will not focus on the decision of the folks in Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye and Kherson, it has been built, Russia will not betray it. (Applause.) And present-day Kyiv authorities should really treat this free of charge will of the people today with respect, and nothing else. This is the only way to peace.
We will secure our land with all the forces and indicates at our disposal and we will do almost everything to make sure the risk-free life of our individuals. This is the fantastic liberation mission of our people today.
We will absolutely rebuild destroyed metropolitan areas and towns, housing, colleges, hospitals, theaters and museums, restore and produce industrial enterprises, factories, infrastructure, social safety, pensions, health care and education techniques.
Of study course, we will get the job done on bettering the degree of security. Alongside one another we will make guaranteed that citizens in the new areas truly feel the support of the full people today of Russia, the total region, all the republics, all the territories and areas of our broad Motherland.
Pricey good friends, colleagues!
Now I want to tackle the troopers and officers who are participating in a unique armed service operation, the soldiers of Donbass and Novorossia, those who, soon after the decree on partial mobilization, be a part of the ranks of the Armed Forces, satisfying their patriotic obligation, who, at the connect with of their hearts, come to the military services registration and enlistment offices.
I would like to switch to their moms and dads, wives, and youngsters, to inform them what our persons are battling for, what enemy is opposing us, who is throwing the environment into new wars and crises, extracting their bloody earnings from this tragedy.
Our compatriots, our brothers and sisters in Ukraine – the native part of our united men and women – observed with their own eyes what the ruling circles of the so-called West are making ready for all mankind. Below they, in simple fact, just threw off their masks, showed their accurate insides.
Right after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the West determined that the earth, all of us, would for good have to place up with its dictates. Then, in 1991, the West predicted that Russia would not get better from this kind of shocks and would drop aside on its individual. Certainly, it almost occurred – we remember the 90s, the awful 90s, hungry, chilly and hopeless. But Russia resisted, revived, strengthened, again took its rightful spot in the world.
At the same time, the West has been searching all this time and carries on to look for a new prospect to hit us, weaken and ruin Russia, which they have often dreamed of, break up our point out, pit peoples in opposition to just about every other, doom them to poverty and extinction. They are simply just haunted by the simple fact that there is these types of a wonderful, massive country in the world with its territory, organic wealth, means, with a people today who do not know how and will under no circumstances stay according to a person else’s orders.
The West is prepared to stage above anything in get to protect the neo-colonial process that allows it to parasitize, in actuality, to plunder the earth at the expense of the power of the greenback and technological dictates, to accumulate authentic tribute from humanity, to extract the main resource of unearned prosperity, the lease of the hegemon.
The servicing of this hire is their critical, genuine and absolutely self-serving motive. That is why total desovereignization is in their passions. Consequently their aggression to independent states, to standard values and authentic cultures, tries to undermine global and integration procedures beyond their manage, new planet currencies and centers of technological progress. It is vital for them that all international locations surrender their sovereignty to the United States.
The ruling elites of some states voluntarily agree to do this, voluntarily agree to develop into vassals other people are bribed, intimidated. And if it isn’t going to get the job done out, they ruin entire states, leaving driving humanitarian catastrophes, disasters, ruins, thousands and thousands of ruined, mangled human destinies, terrorist enclaves, social catastrophe zones, protectorates, colonies and semi-colonies. They don’t care as prolonged as they get their very own advantage.
I want to emphasize after once more that it is precisely in greed, in the intention to maintain its unrestricted electricity, that there are the true motives for the hybrid war that the ‘collective West’ is waging towards Russia. They do not desire us liberty, but they want to see us as a colony. They do not want equal cooperation, but robbery. They want to see us not as a no cost society, but as a crowd of soulless slaves.
For them, a immediate danger is our thought and philosophy, and consequently they encroach on our philosophers. Our tradition and art are a threat to them, so they are attempting to ban them. Our progress and prosperity is also a risk to them – competitors is developing. They you should not want Russia at all, we need it. (Applause.)
I would like to remind you that the promises to entire world domination in the earlier have been shattered additional than when by the braveness and resilience of our men and women. Russia will generally be Russia. We will continue to protect both our values and our Motherland.
The West is counting on impunity, on finding away with all the things. In point, everything has gotten absent with it so considerably. Agreements in the subject of strategic security go to the wastebasket agreements achieved at the best political level are declared bogus business claims not to increase NATO to the East, as soon as our former leaders purchased into them, turned into a soiled deceit treaties on anti-missile defense and intermediate- and shorter-vary missiles have been unilaterally damaged underneath much-fetched pretexts.
We only hear from all sides: ‘The West defends get, based mostly on guidelines.’ Wherever did they come from? Who even noticed these regulations? Who agreed? Hear, this is just some sort of nonsense, sheer deception, double or by now triple standards! It really is just intended for fools.
Russia is a fantastic millennial electricity, a nation-civilization, and will not are living by this sort of rigged, phony guidelines. (Applause.)
It is the so-referred to as West that has trampled on the basic principle of the inviolability of borders, and now it decides at its own discretion who has the appropriate to self-dedication and who does not, who is not deserving of it. Why they decide so, who gave them these kinds of a right is not distinct. To themselves.
That is why the preference of individuals in the Crimea, in Sevastopol, in Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye and Kherson will cause wild anger in them. This West has no ethical ideal to appraise it, even to stutter about the flexibility of democracy. No, and in no way has been!
Western elites deny not only countrywide sovereignty and international regulation. Their hegemony has a pronounced character of totalitarianism, despotism and apartheid. They overtly divide the earth into their vassals, into the so-referred to as civilized countries and into all the relaxation, who, according to the prepare of present day Western racists, must increase to the record of barbarians and savages.
Bogus labels – ‘rogue country’, ‘authoritarian regime’ – are previously completely ready, they stigmatize complete peoples and states, and there is absolutely nothing new in this. There is very little new in this: the Western elites are what they had been, and have remained so – colonialist. They discriminate, divide peoples into ‘first’ and ‘other’ grades.
We have under no circumstances recognized and will under no circumstances take these kinds of political nationalism and racism. And what, if not racism, is Russophobia, which is now spreading all above the environment? What, if not racism, is the peremptory conviction of the West that its civilization, neoliberal tradition is an indeniable design for the complete globe? ‘He who is not with us is towards us.’ It even appears unusual.
Even the repentance for their own historical crimes is getting shifted by the Western elites to anyone else, demanding equally the citizens of their international locations and other peoples to confess for what they have nothing at all to do with at all, for example, for the period of colonial conquests.
It is value reminding the West that it started its colonial policy back in the Center Ages, and then followed the global slave trade, the genocide of Indian tribes in The usa, the plunder of India, Africa, the wars of England and France from China, as a consequence of which it was compelled to open its ports for trade opium.
What they did was set full nations on medications, purposefully exterminated overall ethnic teams for the sake of land and sources, staged a real hunt for people like animals. This is contrary to the really mother nature of person, reality, freedom and justice.
And we – we are very pleased that in the 20th century it was our place that led the anti-colonial movement, which opened up options for a lot of peoples of the globe to create in order to reduce poverty and inequality, to triumph over starvation and condition.
I emphasize that a person of the reasons for the centuries-previous Russophobia, the undisguised malice of these Western elites towards Russia is exactly that we did not allow for ourselves to be robbed throughout the period of time of colonial conquests, we pressured the Europeans to trade for mutual benefit. This was obtained by producing a strong centralized condition in Russia, which formulated and strengthened itself on the excellent ethical values of Orthodoxy, Islam, Judaism and Buddhism, on Russian culture and the Russian word open up to all.
It is identified that plans for interventions in Russia had been frequently built, they tried out to use both the troubled moments of the beginning of the 17th century and the period of time of upheavals immediately after 1917 – they unsuccessful. The West nevertheless managed to seize the wealth of Russia at the finish of the 20th century, when the point out was ruined. Then we ended up called both buddies and partners, but in point they taken care of us like a colony – trillions of bucks were siphoned out of the state under a assortment of schemes. We all don’t forget anything, we have not neglected everything.
And these times, folks in Donetsk and Luhansk, in Kherson and Zaporizhia have spoken out in favor of restoring our historical unity. Thank you! (Applause.)
Western countries have been repeating for generations that they carry freedom and democracy to other peoples. Everything is exactly the reverse: as an alternative of democracy – suppression and exploitation instead of liberty – enslavement and violence. The total unipolar planet order is inherently anti-democratic and not absolutely free, it is deceitful and hypocritical through and by means of.
The United States is the only place in the environment to use nuclear weapons 2 times, destroying the Japanese metropolitan areas of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. By the way, they set a precedent.
Let me also remind you that the United States, collectively with the British, turned Dresden, Hamburg, Cologne and lots of other German metropolitan areas into ruins without having any armed service requirement all through Globe War II. And this was done defiantly, with no any, I repeat, armed forces requirement. There was only one particular purpose: just as in the situation of the nuclear bombings in Japan, to intimidate equally our region and the entire entire world.
The United States remaining a terrible mark on the memory of the peoples of Korea and Vietnam with barbaric ‘carpet bombers’, the use of napalm and chemical weapons.
Until finally now, they truly occupy Germany, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and other nations around the world, and at the exact time cynically simply call them equivalent allies. Listen! I question what kind of alliance is this? The full world knows that the leaders of these international locations are getting watched, the first individuals of these states are being put in listening gadgets not only in business, but also in household premises. This is a genuine disgrace. A disgrace the two for these who do this and for those who, like slaves, silently and meekly swallow this rudeness.
They connect with orders and impolite, insulting shouts at the handle of their vassals Euro-Atlantic solidarity, the enhancement of biological weapons, experiments on living individuals, together with in Ukraine, noble healthcare exploration.
It is with their destructive policy, wars, and robbery that they provoked today’s colossal surge in migration flows. Thousands and thousands of individuals undergo deprivation, abuse, die by the thousands, trying to get to the same Europe.
Now they are exporting bread from Ukraine. Where by is he likely beneath the pretext of ‘providing food safety for the world’s poorest countries’? Exactly where is it likely? Every little thing goes to the exact same European nations around the world. There, five per cent only went to the poorest nations in the globe. Again, another swindle and outright deception.
