President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Citizens of Russia, citizens of the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics, residents of the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, deputies of the State Duma, senators of the Russian Federation,
As you know, referendums have been held in the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics and the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions. The ballots have been counted and the results have been announced. The people have made their unequivocal choice.
Today we will sign treaties on the accession of the Donetsk People’s Republic, Lugansk People’s Republic, Zaporozhye Region and Kherson Region to the Russian Federation. I have no doubt that the Federal Assembly will support the constitutional laws on the accession to Russia and the establishment of four new regions, our new constituent entities of the Russian Federation, because this is the will of millions of people. (Applause.)
It is undoubtedly their right, an inherent right sealed in Article 1 of the UN Charter, which directly states the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples.
I repeat, it is an inherent right of the people. It is based on our historical affinity, and it is that right that led generations of our predecessors, those who built and defended Russia for centuries since the period of Ancient Rus, to victory.
Here in Novorossiya, [Pyotr] Rumyantsev, [Alexander] Suvorov and [Fyodor] Ushakov fought their battles, and Catherine the Great and [Grigory] Potyomkin founded new cities. Our grandfathers and great-grandfathers fought here to the bitter end during the Great Patriotic War.
We will always remember the heroes of the Russian Spring, those who refused to accept the neo-Nazi coup d’état in Ukraine in 2014, all those who died for the right to speak their native language, to preserve their culture, traditions and religion, and for the very right to live. We remember the soldiers of Donbass, the martyrs of the “Odessa Khatyn,” the victims of inhuman terrorist attacks carried out by the Kiev regime. We commemorate volunteers and militiamen, civilians, children, women, senior citizens, Russians, Ukrainians, people of various nationalities; popular leader of Donetsk Alexander Zakharchenko; military commanders Arsen Pavlov and Vladimir Zhoga, Olga Kochura and Alexei Mozgovoy; prosecutor of the Lugansk Republic Sergei Gorenko; paratrooper Nurmagomed Gadzhimagomedov and all our soldiers and officers who died a hero’s death during the special military operation. They are heroes. (Applause.) Heroes of great Russia. Please join me in a minute of silence to honour their memory.
(Minute of silence.)
Thank you.
Behind the choice of millions of residents in the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics, in the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, is our common destiny and thousand-year history. People have passed this spiritual connection on to their children and grandchildren. Despite all the trials they endured, they carried the love for Russia through the years. This is something no one can destroy. That is why both older generations and young people – those who were born after the tragic collapse of the Soviet Union – have voted for our unity, for our common future.

Ed… that is bullshit. Unless my posts are one or two paragraphs long they are deleted. For many weeks now, I have had to present these as episodal, so this proves a algorithm is employed.
Other respondents have no problem with dozens of paragraphs. Their posts make it, mine do not. Han has no issues whatsoever, with posts much longer than mine.
Logically, either you delete these, or WordPress does. My money is on WordPress.
Bullshit again. 98 per cent of your comments are automatically published. And you don’t need access to wordpress spam folder.
Look at the length of other comments some a pages long. If you would like to volunteer to disseminate some of the thousands of emails and comments weekly please apply.
For God’s sake take a few lessons in email usage try Outlook it is foolproof. Ed
How could I possibly have access to a Cairns News folder? Only Cairns News has access, so if some respondent’s comments go in this folder, why is CN not transferring them to the right place? Conversely, how can respondents ensure their comments do not go in this folder.
This changes nothing. Unless I reduce my comments to single paragraph, they go into this naughty corner. At the end of the day, this is still censorship.

Well done Russia… with some work the rewards will be great, not only for Russia for these regions which have been neglected for 30 years by Ukraine.
Meanwhile Zelensky, according to the rag The Guardian, is already retaking parts of the ‘annexed’ regions and they are driving out the Russians – which is a load of baloney !!
Excuuuuuse me?! 😂🤣
Ed… is that your spam folder or my spam folder?
DJ – One more step and its done… their constitution needs to be amended, then its final. Then the game will be truly afoot!

Nice work Russia. ‘Let’s go Brandon!’

For reasons unknown sometimes comments end up in the spam folder. Ed
Ed…
Sorry, I must be thick, but I use gmail and it has a spam folder, which I check each day and delete. I have never seen my own e-mails there. Having said that, how are you able to find posts in my spam folder? The only other place a post could conceivably go is drafts folder, but I have none current. And Sent posts are only the emails themselves.
Ergo, I am at a loss to conceive what folder you refer to.
Nothing is deleted. Have you got spam folder in your emails? Thats where some of yours go and I just found one. For the 99th time and I wont repeat it again nobody deletes your bloody emails!!! EDITOR
The moral of this story is that the US is the implacable enemy of democracy or any other intelligent form of government. Thus it can never accept the referendums of Crimea or Donetsk. Secondly, the White House is peopled by psychopaths and ignoramuses who actually believe they own the world and that democracy must be stamped out, which is why the US has invaded 50 sovereign nations since 1946. It is fairly obvious that there can never be world peace while America exists.
The CIA and US think tanks incorrectly believed Ho was a Communist, so “a democratic election must be prevented, at all cost”. Actually, Ho was anti-Communist and simply wanted Vietnam to be run by the Vietnamese people. The invasion by the US forced Ho to form a coalition with General Giap of Hanoi, who became famous as the soldier who defeated the French Colonialists at Deim Bien Phu, which was widely believed to be an invulnerable fortress. Giap is regarded globally as the greatest general of the 20th century.
Had the US not interfered, Vietnam would not have become Communist and would have been an ally of the West.
Here we go again… anything over a paragraph and my posts are deleted. Back to episodes. The West and democracy. The US invaded Vietnam to prevent democratic elections, as mandated by the Geneva Agreement. In his autobiography, ‘My White House Days’, Ike Eisenhower explains that the CIA said that if democratic elections were to be permitted, most Vietnamese would elect Ho Chi Min, who was the nationalist hero who had beaten the Japanese. Ironically, he did so alongside American troops.
The West and democracy.

Well the wheels of government certainly don’t grind slowly in Russia! Weekemd? What weekend? Probably been working around the clock. Only the Upper house to go and it’s done and dusted. Then the fun will start.

Indeed. Russia just celebrated over 1100 years of statehood and so many pea-brains can’t think back earlier than 1920.
Referendum are the TYRANNY of the majority ! It’s the MINORITY that we have to support..
Quote by Tim the Idiot Fisher …
D Johnston… as I said before, Putin is a genius…Checkmate.
The following excerpt, is the last paragraph of an excellent analysis by Scott Ritter. The entire op-ed is in the included link.
“NATO now will find its role diminished by the consequences of the Russian mobilization and referendums. Years from now, when the history of the conflict is finally written, the decision by President Putin to simultaneously mobilize the Russian reserves while absorbing the territory of southern and eastern Ukraine into the Russian Federation will serve as one of the premier modern-history examples of putting an adversary “on the horns of a dilemma.” The effective neutering of NATO by this action will more than likely be seen as a turning point in the conflict, one which sealed the fate of Ukraine in the face of an inevitable Russian victory.”

All of this reminds me of my favourite quotes from Uncle Joe (Stalin): what counts in an election is not who votes but who counts the votes.
The electoral process of all these republics – including the Soviet Union (now styling itself the Russian Federation) is that the electoral process is owned by the Central Bank that owns the republic and its apparatus of government. I do not believe this Ukrainian referendum anymore than I believe the US election of 2020 or the Australian election of 2022.
The Russian population in Eastern Ukraine that wants to be part of Russia has been fighting a separatist war for years / decades with the Ukrainian government which declared independence from the USSR 1991, just as it declared independence 1918 – and was then promptly invaded by the Red Army. In a war both sides are fighting, this should go without saying. And it has been and continues to be a bloody and protracted conflict.
The Western nations are undergoing communist subversion and the Counter Revolution is still opposing this. The fact that the elites are subverting the Western nations with outright Satanism does not give the Communist Eastern Bloc a pass with their war to retake Ukraine.
It is not possible for a nation to be owned by a banking cartel and exercise a democratic form of government.
@lindesymonds- Putin threw the Rothschilds out of Russia several years ago, Russia is now operating on a Gold-backed currency. Deep State/Cabal still control Zelensky and some of the European “Leaders”, which is part of the reason why Putin repossessed the regions which were being persecuted by the Azov nazis.
“What we are seeing now, the referendum is a great historical event… This is the highest form of democracy. I think that the referendum is the best solution in this conflict,” Pierre-Emmanuel Thomanna foreign observer from France who was present during the popular vote in the LPR, told the press.
But, but our US-UK democratic hegemonica is the only one playing on our turf Mr. Hyphenated.
How dare you destroy our narrative with truth.
Your cancelled 😡
Briglow… How true…!
lindesymonds talks about the Soviet Union – seemingly trapped in a time warp.
Newsflash – the Soviet Union collapsed some time ago now – decades ago, in fact.
Jen’s views are much more grounded in reality.
lindesy… what rubbish…! You obviously have not seen the people of those regions talking about why they were voting. Don’t forget they were being bombed into oblivion for over 8 years by the Ukrainians just because they disagreed with the Western takeover of their country in 2014 and the fact that Ukraine was trying to destroy their heritage.
The Russian president also pointed to the “radical denial of moral, religious, and family values” by Western leaders, arguing that their
“complete renunciation of what it means to be human, the overthrow of faith and traditional values, and the suppression of freedom are coming to resemble a ‘religion in reverse’ – pure Satanism.”
Does this principle apply in Australia?
Does this mean that we the people of Australia can have a referendum to return governance of our Nation back to its only Lawful Constitution of 1901?
And then could we succeed from the Marxist/Jesuit corporations that have seized our Parliaments, Courts, Army and illegally imposed a foreign currency i.e. the Dollar upon us?
Can we then repudiate all their debt and arrest the employees of the Jew York “Federal Reserve” affiliated “Reserve” bank on charges of treason and National sabotage?
Maybe we need the Russian Army to assist the people of this occupied Nation to hold a real Referendum. Not one assisted by Dominion vote fraud and demanded by Rothschilds to hand ownership to blackfellas who love the place so much that almost 90% haven’t done a day’s work since that great paedophile Whitlam, handed working Australians taxes, both white and black people for “sit down money” to a collection of bludgers.
As of 1942 and the Japanese invasion, which was repelled but white Aussie boys giving their lives, the Marxist ” traditional” owners” mantra is about as false as a honest election result in Australia. Without our brave Australian boys defence, there would be no blackfellas or Australia to steal because the Japanese Imperial army had orders to shoot out or enslave all the people who lived here.
These orders were very explicit and we’re kept from the public by our Generals and Mc Arthur for political reasons of their own.
When the Japanese command centre at Law in New Guinea was taken, these orders were seized. I know because my late cousin saw them and was there when they were translated.
When are the land rights crowd going to say sorry to white Aussies and apologise and thank them for saving us all? Or can’t these bludgers see any free money coming their way by doing what is right.
In the era of the rigged election the fact that people believe this electoral result is frankly incredible. But then most people believe that Biden (who can’t even read the teleprompter won by a landslide in 2020)
The banking cartel that owns the electoral process and owns both the Soviet Union and the Ukraine has ensured that the voters have made the required response. Nothing says a yes vote for annexation quite like military occupation. Of course they are all OK with the Russian invasion of their country. And they want to be citizens again of the Soviet Union. Many are probably looking forward to family reunions in the gulags.
Viva Russia! Well done, the people have spoken, no matter what the West thinks or says. The referendums were also overseen by observers from many different nations who were present there and talked to the people themselves who overwhelmingly supported becoming part of Russia.
Its good to know, as Dr. says, that Russia knows there are many around the world who support what is happening and know the truth.
Excellent
And lest not forget, that President Putin also stated, that he knows, – and feels, the support we offer in our distant and limited way.
‘All over the world, including in Europe and the United States, as I said, we have many like-minded people, and we feel, we see their support. A liberation, anti-colonial movement against unipolar hegemony is already developing within the most diverse countries and societies.’
Russia knows that ‘some of us’ are wise to, or indeed, participant in it’s spiritual dharma.
