In the nearly hour-long speech preceding the signing ceremony with pro-Russian leaders in Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhya provinces, Putin re-proposed the list of accusations against Western countries. Starting with the expansion of NATO’s borders after the collapse of the Soviet Union despite the “dirty lies” they asserted to the contrary. The United States and its allies are waging a “hybrid war” against Russia with the aim of making it a “colony”. But after the “tragic 90s”, when “people were dying of starvation”, Moscow regained its place in the world and is now ready to defend “with all means at its disposal” the territories returned to its rule. In the fiery indictment, Putin dropped a ruling on a possible ceasefire. “We are ready to return to the negotiating table,” he said. But Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s response does not allow for responses: Kyiv will not negotiate with Russia as long as Putin is its president and has already requested rapid access to NATO.

The Group of Seven and the European Union joined in rejecting the Russian annexation. “The Kremlin’s nuclear threats, military mobilization, the strategy of trying to present Ukrainian territory as phony Russian, and claiming that war can now take place on its territory, will not shake our resolve,” said the leaders of the 27 assembled countries. European Council. While the Farnesina family reiterated Italy’s “full support for the sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence of Ukraine”. Putin did not pay attention to the reactions. “Victory will be ours,” he promised, speaking in Red Square at the folk festival organized under the walls of the Kremlin. While Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, using her distinctive tones, responded to Kyiv’s request to join NATO by saying that “the bloodthirsty butchers who kill women and children go to the NATO dump.” On the accusations leveled at Russia of contemplating the use of nuclear weapons, the president replied, recalling that “the United States is the only country in the world that has used nuclear weapons twice and created a precedent.” Putin emphasized that Moscow could instead count on the “unwavering love” of its citizens for their homeland.
