Putin Issues Ultimatum To Kiev Regime, Signs Order To Recognize DPR And LPR

Do you want decommunization? [We] will show you what is real decommunization.

Vladimir Putin

Few moments ago, President Vladimir Putin announced that Russia recognized the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics in the east of Ukraine as sovereign nations.

“I deem it necessary to make a decision that should have been made a long time ago to immediately recognize the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics,” Putin said speaking as part of a televised address to the nation.

Now Russian lawmakers should consider statements of friendship and support with the two regions.

He said that the move cannot be avoided because of Kiev’s sabotage of the Minsk agreements, designed to put an end to the internal conflict in Ukraine.

“They are not interested in peaceful solutions – they want to start Blitzkreig,” Putin stated referring to the policy of the current Kiev regime. The president noted that Ukraine does not even hide aggressive plans and prepares for the conflict with Russia to which it seeks to drag NATO member states.

He noted that the mainstream Ukrainian politics is influenced by “extreme nationalism,” “Nazism” and “Russophobia.” These policies, Putin said, clearly show the face of the current regime and its attitude towards ethnic Russians and Russian-speaking population.

Speaking about the 2014 Odessa massacre (when neo-Nazi pro-Kiev radicals killed and burned dozens of civilians that protested against the Maidan coup), Putin said that it is must to ‘find, put on trial and punish’ the persons responsible for this. Taking into account that the Odessa events were supported on almost all levels of the Ukrainian government, this can refer to almost all representatives of the post-Maidan Ukrainian elites.

On top of this, Putin issued an ultimatum to the Kiev regime. The Zelensky government must immediately stop fighting in the region and obey to the ceasefire.

In other cases, Putin said, it will bear full responsibility for the further development of the situation. This shows that Russia is ready to kick of a peace enforcement operation against the Kiev regime if this is needed. In this case, it is possible that a large, if not more, regions of Ukraine’s south-east will be cleared from criminals that the current Kiev regime calls its ‘security forces’ and the ‘army’.
