A “world-historical event” according to Putin.
– The Donetsk and Lugansk republics, Kherson and Zaporizhia regions have reunited with their historical home – Russia.
As Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin said: “Saving people in the territories where referendums are held is the center of Russia’s attention, this issue is at the forefront,” Tatyana Moskalkova wrote in her Telegram channel.
“For almost nine long years, the Kiev regime has tried to deprive these people of every conceivable human right: from the right to speak their native language to the right to life.
The referendum gave them hope for a new destiny: without mockery of dignity, cynical desecration of national culture and punitive actions.
According to Moskalkova, the referendum “was transparent.”
- People actually voted – and the protocols of the results were made on the basis of their real votes, their will. It was legitimate because it is recognized by those who participate in it and those to whom it is addressed.
And it is addressed to all citizens of Russia and those who around the world have not lost the ability to see and hear,” the ombudsman emphasized.
Tatyana Moskalkova drew attention to the fact that “more than 8 million people returned to their homeland.”
“Now they are protected not only by our army and law enforcement agencies, but also by our laws.
Their representatives, as equals among equals, will enter our human rights community in order to protect the rights and freedoms of Russian citizens together with all 85 human rights commissioners,” the ombudsman concluded.
Everyone in the audience chants, “Russia!” and applauds.
The heads of the LPR, DPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions signed agreements with Russia.
Putin and Pushilin signed an agreement on the admission of the DPR to Russia.
“The truth is behind us, Russia is behind us,” Putin concluded his speech. The audience applauds.
The President noted that today “we need the consolidation of the whole society.”
Now, in order to get out of the next tangle of contradictions, the United States needs to break Russia, Putin believes. He did not rule out that Washington “will try to bring the system to collapse,” to which everything can be written off.
“Russia understands its responsibility to the world community and will do everything to bring such hotheads to their senses,” Putin said.
“Today we are fighting for a fair and free path, first of all for ourselves, for Russia,” Putin said.
The head of state noted that the world has entered a period of revolutionary transformations.
The president turned to gender issues and noted that Russians hardly want their children, except for mom and dad, to have parent No. 1 and parent No. 2.
“We have a different, our own future,” the president stressed.
“Profits from the Second World War allowed the United States to finally overcome the consequences of the Great Depression and become the largest economy in the world, to impose the power of the dollar as a global reserve currency on the planet,” the president said.
“There is every reason to believe that the Western elites are not going to look for constructive ways out of the global food and energy crisis, which arose through their fault,” Putin said.
Vladimir Putin noted that “the United States essentially occupies Germany, Korea and Japan, but they talk about equality with them.”
Putin on the Explosions at Nord Stream
The head of state called the explosions on the “Northern Stream” a “sabotage of the Anglo-Saxons”.
“We have switched to sabotage, organizing them on Nord Stream 2, in fact, we have begun to destroy the European energy infrastructure, everyone understands who benefits from this,” the president said.
“Washington is demanding more and more sanctions against Russia, and most European politicians dutifully agree with this.
They also clearly understand that the United States, pushing for the complete rejection of the EU from Russian energy and other resources, is working practically to deindustrialize Europe.
To completely take over the European market. They all understand that these elites are European.
But they prefer to serve other people’s interests. This is no longer a lackey, but a direct betrayal of their peoples,” Putin said.
“Nuclear weapons so far sound only in the context of the American bombing of Japan,” the president said.
The head of state stressed that the United States is the only one in the world that twice used nuclear weapons and created a precedent.
The main thing from Vladimir Putin’s speech at the moment:
we will always remember those who fought for the right to speak their native language, who fell to the death of the brave. They are heroes of the great Russia;
Behind the choice of the residents of the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions – our fate and history;
for a long time, the residents of Donbass were subjected to genocide. But the unbroken people of Donbass, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions have spoken their word;
Russia calls on Kiev to cease fire and return to the negotiating table, but we will not discuss the choice of residents of Donbass, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions;
Kiev should respect the choice of the residents of the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions. Only in this way is the path to peace possible;
we will rebuild and restore our new regions, make sure that their residents feel the support of all Russians;
residents of Donbass, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions become our citizens forever.
Vladimir Putin said that one of the reasons for centuries-old Russophobia is that “we did not allow ourselves to be robbed during the period of colonization, we forced Europe to trade equally.”
“The slave trade, the genocide of Indian tribes, the plundering of India, Africa, the wars of England and France against China, as a result of which he was forced to open his ports to the opium trade,” Vladimir Putin listed the “sins” of the West.
“The Western elites as they were, and remained so – colonialist,” said Vladimir Putin.
“Russia will never accept political nationalism,” the president announced.
Excerpts from Putin’s speech about the West, colonies, semi-colonies and slaves:
our compatriots in Ukraine saw with their own eyes what the West is preparing for the whole world;
The West has been looking for and is looking for a new chance to weaken and disintegrate Russia, they are haunted that there is such a great country;
The West wants to see us as a colony, a crowd of soulless slaves. For them, the direct threat is our philosophy, which is why they encroach on our philosophers;
The West does not need Russia. We need it. Russia will always be Russia.
“Russia will not live ‘by the manipulated rules’ of the West,” Putin said.
According to the President of the Russian Federation, the West removes rents as a hegemon, it is critically important for them that all countries surrender sovereignty in favor of the United States.
“The West is trying to do everything to preserve the neocolonial system, continuing to pursue its predatory policy,” the president said.
“It is in greed, in the intention to maintain its power, that there are reasons for the hybrid war that the West is waging against Russia,” the president said.
“It is critically important for the West that European countries surrender their sovereignty to the United States,” Putin said.
The West decided that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, we would always have to put up with its dictates. It almost happened,” the Russian president said.
The President stressed that Russia will not discuss during the negotiations the choice of the republics of Donbass, Zaporozhye and Kherson region, it was made finally.
“The West is looking for a new chance to hit Russia, to destroy it, to condemn its people to poverty and survival,” Putin said.
Putin told what “our people are fighting for.”
“Our compatriots, brothers and sisters in Ukraine saw with their own eyes what the ruling circles of the so-called West are preparing for all of humanity,” Putin said.
“Kiev should respect the choice of the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, only this can be the way to peace,” Putin said.
Putin called on Ukraine for negotiations
Putin called on Ukraine to immediately cease hostilities and return to the negotiating table.
“We call on the Kiev regime to immediately cease fire and return to the negotiating table. We are ready for this,” the president stressed.
Putin appealed to Kiev and its “real masters in the West.”
“People living in Lugansk and Donetsk, in Zaporozhye and Kherson, become our citizens. Forever,” Putin said.
“During the referendums, the Kiev regime threatened reprisals, death, intimidated millions of people,” Putin said.
Vladimir Putin spoke about the “collapse of a great country.”
- There is no Soviet Union, the past cannot be returned. And Russia does not need it today. We are not striving for this,” the president said.
Putin turns to history. And he says that people in 1991 remained detached from their homeland, this turned into a national catastrophe.
- The last Soviet leaders destroyed our great country, put the people in front of the fact, not understanding the consequences, the decision in 1991 was not based on the opinion of the people: they were not asked and all ties were broken alive.
The President listed the people who died brave, heroes – defenders of Donbass and asked to honor their memory with a minute of silence.
Putin announced that today an agreement will be signed on the entry of the LPR, dpr, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions into the Russian Federation.
“People have made their choice, an unequivocal choice,” Putin said. “It’s the will of millions of people. And this is their inalienable right, enshrined in the UN Charter.
The President appeared in St. George’s Hall.
Vladimir Putin is traditionally a little late, but the hall is already full, everyone is waiting.

Those gathered in the Kremlin were asked to turn off their phones and take their seats.
The president’s address will begin in five minutes.
Euro
Meanwhile, the euro fell on the stock exchange below 51 rubles for the first time since October 13, 2014.
The end of the campaign.
Meanwhile, the fifth region reported on the implementation of the plan for partial mobilization. And this is Khakassia. The statement was made by the head of the republic Valentin Konovalov.
Earlier, Adygea, Crimea, Buryatia and the Bryansk region announced the end of the campaign.
Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev also arrived at the signing ceremony of agreements on the accession of new territories to the Russian Federation.
Finland has the right to cancel at the border the tourist visas issued by it to Russian citizens if they do not have “prerequisites for entry,” the embassy in Moscow said.
The head of the HRC, Valery Fadeev, called on the governors to urgently provide the mobilized with everything necessary.
- In social networks, there are many messages about the need for those mobilized to buy their own equipment and medicines to the front, about the empty regiments of Voentorg and spending 100 thousand rubles. In the media there are instructions on what things to bring with you to the military recruitment office. Obviously, this situation is abnormal,” Fadeyev said.
Red Wings Airlines has faced cases when the border service does not allow crews to international flights. This was told by the director of the Red Wings branch in Yekaterinburg Kristina Aksenova at a press conference.- At the moment, this is a constant practice when border services refuse both flight and cabin crews to cross the border, even if there is a flight task. This happened to all other carriers, and Red Wings was no exception. Yes, last weekend we had a case with the non-admission of the flight crew to the international flight. But we have reserve crews, the base in Yekaterinburg is quite large-scale, so this did not lead to a global flight delay and discomfort to passengers, “TASS quoted Aksenova as saying.
Earlier, the Federal Air Transport Agency asked airlines to inform the agency if the FSB refuses crew members to cross the border when performing flights.
Today, the Kremlin will sign treaties on the accession of new territories to Russia, and the president will make an address to the nation, which will be monitored all over the world. We asked political scientists what they expect from the presidential speech.
- The unpredictable part will concern how Russia will live in a new capacity. The annexation of territories within the borders that our army does not yet control will create a completely new legal and political reality in which the country has never lived before. This reality requires appropriate solutions, including emergency ones,” said political scientist Alexei Shaburov.
- The President of Russia is united in three persons: he is the commander-in-chief, the political leader of the state and, most importantly, the main responsible for the preservation of the people. It is necessary to save the people in a broad sense – both the real life of citizens and the prospect for the future. The words that will be said by the president in his first and second roles are quite expected, although every detail will be considered repeatedly. But the last, popular, part of the message is especially important. Millions of Russians need to understand how their families will live in the coming years,” said political scientist Sergei Stankevich.
- Russian police
Russian police were banned from leaving the country. Also, employees who have access to state secrets must hand over passports.
The order on the ban on departure was signed on September 23. Since then, the personnel and leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, including women, have no right to leave Russia.
Even on the country’s recommended vacations for law enforcement officers. In exceptional cases, it will be possible to leave, but only after coordination with the management.
- Lukashenko
Lukashenko said that peace in Ukraine can be achieved within a few days, if the Europeans sincerely want it. His words are quoted by the BelTA agency.
The first mobilized Russians arrived in the zone of a special military operation, writes TASS with reference to the People’s Militia of the DPR. - In the zone of the special military operation, on the territory of the DPR, the first servicemen called up for military service on partial mobilization announced in Russia arrived. Now they are undergoing a course of intensive combat training at the training grounds, which takes into account the experience of the battles of recent months, they quote.
The press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation made several important statements at today’s briefing. We publish the main ones:
the Kremlin supports the head of Dagestan in his criticism of excesses in partial mobilization;
the entire territory of the DPR within the borders of the Donetsk region of the 2014 model “will have to be liberated”;
in the face of Kiev’s reluctance to negotiate, the Russian Federation focuses on the continuation of a special military operation;
the Kremlin does not want to develop the topic of “nuclear escalation”, calls on everyone to behave responsibly;
the ceremony of acceptance of new subjects in the Russian Federation will be attended by the heads of the DPR and LPR, Kherson region and Zaporozhye;
at the ceremony in the Kremlin, four agreements on the admission of new subjects to the Russian Federation will be signed.
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed agreements on the entry into the Russian Federation of four new subjects – Donetsk, Lugansk people’s republics, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions.
Senator from the Novgorod region Elena Pisareva stressed that the region will continue to provide all necessary assistance to the Vasilyevsky district of Zaporozhye:
“I remember very well when Crimea was part of the Russian Federation, when that treaty was signed. It was a truly historic event, just as it is now. After all, it is terrible to imagine that for eight years people lived under bombing, suffered from violence, lived outside the Russian language. People wanted to come to us, to our great country.
And today we have signed a treaty that is of historic importance. Our Russia has become stronger, more powerful, with larger territories and, most importantly, with people – true patriots of our Motherland.
There’s a lot of work to be done. This is the development of the economy, infrastructure, the conduct of national projects. Of course, I believe it is necessary to highlight the importance of the Russian language as the basis of the foundations.
Of course, education in the new territories of our country should be given great importance, because the future generation, which today goes to the first grades, in 10 years will have its own opinion.
We must do everything we can to prevent our history from being rewritten. So that it would not be the same as in other countries where monuments are destroyed. On the contrary, it is necessary to restore them and talk about modern heroes who today protect the world of our Russia.
I can honestly say that the assistance to Zaporozhye provided by the people of Novgorod is very significant. It is accepted from the bottom of our hearts and comes from the heart. Many thanks to all our Novgorodians who provide this assistance. We will definitely continue to restore the Vasilyevsky district and all together do everything possible so that our friends do not need anything that they need now.”
Serhiy Mitin: “Residents of Donbass, Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions will receive security guarantees”
Everyone was waiting for this event. I think in five or six days this story will be formalized by law. But after that, people will receive guarantees of their lives, security, which is very necessary today. Russia will return the lands that historically belonged to it.”
Senator from the Novgorod region Sergey Mitin noted that now the residents of Donbass, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions will finally begin to feel safe:
“Equally millions of Russians and millions of people living in the territory of Kherson, Zaporozhye regions, two republics were waiting for this day, because really everyone is already tired of endless attempts to force someone to live by their own rules, and these rules are fundamentally different from ours.
This is all the more clear to us Novgorodians, because even in the days of the legendary Rurik, this entire territory was actually controlled by Russian princes and our culture, our religion, our rules, our idea of statehood, of the Russian land were established there.
This went on for centuries and wars took place, revolutions raged, but there were still people of the same nature of life, the same principles that are inherent in the Russian man, and which characteristically distinguish him from other nationalities – the breadth of views and attitude to people.
Please note that Russia is one of the few countries where people of different faiths and nationalities live peacefully, there is no oppression here.
In my youth, working in the shipbuilding industry, I was in Kherson many times, it is a 100 percent Russian city. No one could have imagined that it would be different, would go into a hostile camp, would belong to NATO, for example.
