Invitation to the tribunal. What will Putin lead to the annexation of Ukrainian territories
George's Hall of the Kremlin received the deputies of the State Duma and senators of the Federation Council, Russian ministers and governors. Initially, Putin met with the leaders of the DNR and LNR terrorist organizations Denis Pushilin and Leonid Pasichnyk, as well as Gauleiters of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions - Vladimir Baldo and Yevgeny Balytsky, and then invited them to a "solemn ceremony".
The speaker of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov announced: Putin would make a "volume" speech. A few days before the meeting, it was clear that Moscow plans to hold a public ceremony of one of the stages of annexation - "signing contracts on entry into Russia" of the territories of four regions. So it happened.
"People who live in Lugansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporozhye become our citizens forever," Putin said in the Kremlin and signed "Documents" about the "accession" of the territories of Ukraine to Russia and the formation of new subjects of the Federation. The Kremlin's attendees were rapidly applauded, and Chechnya's head Ramzan Kadyrov, according to "RIA Novosti", even "wept".
And if Putin recognized the "independence" of Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions on the eve of the night, signing the relevant decrees, then to the so -called "republics" with centers in Lugansk and Donetsk as individual states he has been treated since February 21, 2022. It was on this day that members of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, representatives of the State Duma and the Federation Council gathered at the meeting. Unlike the present, there were large hearings.
The heads of different structures and departments were performed. For example, the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that Ukraine is "attacking the Slavs, Orthodox and all Russian", and the recognition of "DNR" and "LNR" will be a strong signal of the "Russian world".
The Chairman of the Council of the Federation of Russia Valentina Matvienko called the official Ukrainian authorities "a puppet regime that can decide" and emphasized that negotiations needed exclusively with the United States and with no one else. The Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Volodymyr Kolokoltsev stated that "LNR" and "DNR" should be recognized in accordance with the territories under the control of Ukraine.
Only the head of the external intelligence service of the Russian Federation Sergey Narishkin doubted a little: "Our Western partners need to give the last chance to offer them in the shortest possible time to go to peace and fulfill the Minsk agreements", for which Putin was embarrassed. But in all these words, even in the correction of Naryshkin, you could read all the future plans of the Kremlin.
This is the occupation of the whole territory of Donetsk and Luhansk region, and the desire of change of power in Ukraine, and the hope of further conversation with Washington from the standpoint of a strong leader. In the evening of the same day, Putin appeared to the Russians, in which he threw a portion of accusations against Ukraine and announced the recognition of pseudo -republics.
Paragraph 4 of each of the two decrees states that Russia officially introduces its troops into the territory of the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions "to maintain peace". The next day, the State Duma of the Russian Federation unanimously ratified the Treaties "On Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance" with quasi -formations, and the Russian Federation Security Council allowed the use of a regular army in the territory of another state.
Further, as we know, there was a large -scale invasion, an attempt to take Kyiv and change power in Ukraine for three days. "From the point of view of international law pseudo -referendums and annexation of territories by their results are worthless. The accession of these territories to the Russian Federation contradicts the UN Charter, violates the principle of territorial integrity, inviolability of borders," says Pavlo Romanyuk, a advisor to the legal issues of the Civic Network.
He is convinced that the annexation of the Ukrainian territories is only evidence in court of a crime committed by the highest leadership of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.
"Since pseudo -referendums and annexation of these territories are evidence of an international crime, aggression against Ukraine by the Russian Federation, the world's response should be dictated We will be able to attract all persons who have made appropriate decisions on the annexation of these territories to criminal liability as international criminals, " - adds Romanyuk.
"We urge the Kiev regime to immediately stop the fire, all the fighting, the war that it sold in 2014 and return to the negotiation table. We are ready for it. This was repeatedly said. But the choice of people in Donetsk, Lugansk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye, Kherson will not be discussed. He is done. Russia will not betray him, "Putin said during his speech.
Political scientist Oleg Lisny in conversation with focus notes that the negotiations are not called for, because President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has previously stated that if the territories of Ukraine were annexed, then there can be no conversation with the person who controlled it. "If Putin has not heard it, these are problems of his hearing aid," says Lisny. "Russia's actions are predicted. This is another nonsense that goes in one connotation with February 24.
Putin continues The rake that will eventually arrive it. It is his swan song, maybe he is subconsciously and feels, but still works. " Experts say Putin raises rates, demonstrating that he is not going to make any concessions. On the contrary, he says directly: Russia can take any steps to achieve its goal, including the use of nuclear weapons.
Conducting pseudo -referendums and further annexation is an attempt to stop the Ukrainian counter -offensive on the front, which deprived Moscow the opportunity to form the fifth quasi formation in Kharkiv region. Putin wants to take revenge after defeat in the Kharkiv region and hopes that the threat of a great war with nuclear weapons will weaken the support of the event on the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
And even more, Kyiv will ask "for the safety of the whole world" to go to a deal with Putin. Political scientist Volodymyr Fesenko says that the Kremlin really thought that the EU and the US would press on Ukraine, forcing Kyiv to negotiate peace on Russian conditions. But the expert is convinced that it was with the previous plans, nothing will work. "Putin, both earlier, is inadequately evaluating the situation in Ukraine and the reaction of the event itself," he is convinced.
Therefore, the only consequence of decisions in the Kremlin is that the war will go into a new phase. "We do not recognize any statements of this old marasmatics. Therefore, we will continue to release the territories. There is no sovereignty of Russia in the occupied territories, it is a sovereign territory as if Comrade Putin did not appeal to the UN norms. Russia pursues the invading policy of the empire, and this empire will fall.
In his address Putin said that the Anglo -Saxons were bad because they killed the Indians, but forgot about the role of Russia in the matter of indigenous peoples. As much as they destroy and destroy now. Therefore, I am more interested in the event's response. In addition, informal signals should be received, which say that the United States supported our right to use the weapons supplied by Ukraine, as well as the activation of Land League.
"It is fundamentally to free these territories quickly for us. It will be Putin's slap, which he may not withstand. If, for example, we will take the territory back in a week - it will be a signal for him and for the Russians and for the Russians and for the civilized world that He cannot control the passionate.
It would be pragmatically, cynically, correctly - and most importantly - fairly, " - sums up the political scientist after the events in Moscow, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine has applied for joining NATO for an accelerated procedure. "De facto we have already gone to NATO," Zelensky said. "We have already proven compatibility with the standards of the North Atlantic Union. They are real for Ukraine-real in the battlefield and in all aspects of our interaction.
We trust each other, We help each other and we protect each other. This is the North Atlantic Union. Defact. " And the application needs to do it de jure. Pavel Romanyuk from Opora reminds that the Constitution of Ukraine allows you to apply and become a member of NATO and the EU. "But we understand that NATO's accession has a well -established procedure, defined by the charter of this organization," he says.
"The President, adequately responding to those challenges that are related to the annexation of our territory, addresses the organization for the development of a special Ad Hoc procedure that is, in a particular case for Ukraine. This procedure is exceptional, but requires fast and prompt development. The complexity of diplomatic battles is that there are some NATO member states that may not contribute to such accelerated entry.
