Putin once again burst into criticism towards the Ukrainian authorities and said that the regime of repressions was strengthened in Ukraine.
The Russian authorities will do everything to ensure the safe holding of ” referenda ” in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin in a video message.
“Russia was asked to support the referendums. Let me emphasize that we will do everything to ensure the safe conduct of the ‘referenda’,” Putin said.
According to the Russian president, “the regime of repressions throughout Ukraine has been strengthened in the harshest way. The policy of intimidation, terror, and violence is taking on ever more terrible barbaric forms.”
“We have no moral right to give people close to us to be torn to pieces by the executioner, we cannot but respond to their desire to determine their own future,” Putin expressed his opinion.
At the same time, he stated that the goal of the West is to weaken, divide and destroy the Russian Federation. “They directly say that in 1991 they were able to split the USSR, and now the time has come for the Russian Federation itself, that it should break up into many warring regions,” he said.
The head of the Kremlin also believes that “the Ukrainian people have been turned into cannon fodder.”
He once again made excuses for his attack on Ukraine. “A new next, as it has happened twice before, a large-scale offensive in the Donbass was inevitable, and then an attack on the Crimea. And a decision on a preemptive operation was necessary,” he said.
According to the head of the Kremlin, the “LPR” is almost completely “cleansed of neo-Nazis”, and the fighting in the “DPR”, where “the Kyiv regime has created a deep line of fortifications,” continues.

The President of the Russian Federation commented on the holding of pseudo-referenda on the territory of the occupied regions of Ukraine
It should be noted that the world community condemned the Kremlin’s plans to hold so-called referendums in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. World leaders have declared that they will in no way recognize the results of such an expression of will.
As UNIAN reported earlier, today Putin signed a decree on partial mobilization in the Russian Federation. According to him, only those citizens who are in the reserve and, above all, those who served in the ranks of the armed forces of the Russian Federation, have certain military specialties and relevant experience, will be subject to military service.
FOAD putler.
“We have no moral right to give people close to us to be torn to pieces by the executioner, we cannot but respond to their desire to determine their own future,” Putin expressed his opinion.
Meaning Ukrainians have no right to their future and it has to be decided by russia?
I don’t remember anyone inviting Putin to come when 98% of Ukrainians are against occupation.
“the Ukrainian people have been turned into cannon fodder.”
Now there’s some Kremlin projection for you.
According to a russian poll, over 90% support joining russia in these 4 Oblasts. It’s about as believable as Shoigu claiming only 5000 orcs have been killed in Ukraine. Which might be true, but if you add on the DPR and LPR canon fodder, we come to the accepted 50,000.
I would add another 50,000 or more died in the hospitals or got buried alive with the rest of the trash.
