“I support the proposal to join the Donetsk and Luhansk Republics to the Russian Federation …” The words came from Russian intelligence chief Sergei Naryshkin at a meeting of the Security Council, which recommended that President Vladimir Putin recognize the independence of Donbas.

However, after the president reminded him that the issue of recognizing independence was being discussed at the meeting, Naryshkin corrected himself, saying that he supported the recognition of the sovereignty of the self-proclaimed republics.

The Security Council was followed by a speech by the President of the Russian Federation to the citizens and the world. In it, Putin spoke about the history of the Russian Empire and discussed in great detail how Ukraine came into being. He called it the project of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin.

According to the president, who considers the collapse of the Soviet Union to be the greatest geopolitical tragedy of the last century, Ukraine is a state without its own history. Its territory has always been an integral part of the empire that Putin dreams of to this day.
