MOSCOW, Russia –  President Vladimir Putin today signed a declaration formally incorporating four regions under its control into the Russian Federation.

He signed the declaration following a successful referendum which has been described as unacceptable by the West.

The affected regions are Kherson, Donetsk, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia, all constituting 15 percent of Ukraine. Most notable asset in the region being the largest nuclear plant in Ukraine.

Speaking at a ceremony that had all the governors of the region in Moscow, Putin said the people in the region have exercised their legal rights, alluding to Article 1 Chapter 1 of the United Nations Charter  (1945) which states that the people have a right to self-determination.

While describing the commanders of the region as heroes of great Russia, he noted that attack on the regions will be seen as an attack on Russia.

He accused the west of plotting the fall of the Soviet Union, which he said pushed many away from their roots. He noted that by their language, many in the regions already considered themselves to be part of Russia and desire a return to their  ancestral land.

He explained that for decades, many in these regions suffered genocide in the hands of people he described as terrorists.

“But the people have expressed their choice and we remind all in the west that those living in these areas are our citizens as always” and that Russia will go to negotiation with what was on ground in 2014 and that Russia will not betray this.

“Government of Khieve must respect this freedom, only in this way will we have a path to peace, we are going to defend our land and our people”, he said and that Russia will build infrastructure and work at the high level needed and called for  support of  Russians and all the republics.

He said that those in partial mobilization are fighting because the enemy is against Russia and spiling the blood  of compatriots.

Putin accused the west of looking for opportunity to destroy and bring Russia down but that Russia will not succumb to rule from outside and that the west is embarking on imperialism for self aggrandizement.

“It is critical that people have their sovereignty.  It was their will to behave that way to destroy, bringing about terrorists’ enclave to receive their own benefit.

“The war which the west fights is because  they want us to be a colony, they don’t want cooperation, they want to steal  from us, our thinking is in opposition to them, they don’t accept our cooperation. They do not need Russia but we need ourselves”, he said.

He said Russia is defending its independent and that the west has reneged on agreement about strategic security achieved at the highest level not to extend NATO. He said that nuclear disarmament is being broken. “It is all lies, deceit”  thinking that Russians are fools. “Russia is a great civilization with its rights, and we are not going to accept living this way”.  He wonders why the West want to decide who has right to self determination and who has not.

“They seek to divide us, we will never accept this anti-nationalism, this is Russia phobia which is spreading around the world”, and he alluded to crimes committed by the West in Africa, China and in other areas in the process of colonialism.

He said the west always wants to have trade at their advantage.  “The west has not succeeded in taking Russia. They delt with us as a colony, we remember this, we will not forget, the people of these region have expressed themselves for this historical unity”, he said, adding that while the west speaks of freedom, oppression reigns supreme in their enclave.

“We have been threatened with chemical and nuclear weapons”, he said, calling the alliance with Germany, Korean and others as solidarity with a disruptive policy, with millions deprived of their freedom.

He condemned sanctions and accused the Anglo-Saxons of destroying gas infrastructure, refusing  Russian energy because they want to take over the European market. “This is real treachery, that is their business. The Anglo-Saxons are carrying out sabotage, they have destroyed the common European pipeline”, he said and that the US making its own rules but the fate is the same.

He said that the doctrine of US and NATO is based on total domination, a development he described as  hypocritical.

He said that the West has been arm twisting and blackmailing sovereign nations to support sanctions against Russia but that while some have fallen to their tricks many have seen beyond the blackmail.

He said his desire is to see Russia among the top three in every spheres of life.  “The battle we had is the battle for historical Russia for our children and grand children. Today we are fighting so that our people, our culture cannot be taken away”, he said.
