“It’s already impossible to do otherwise” - Putin on the liberated territories
Russia will not leave the liberated territories of Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced this today at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Of course, we will protect those people for whom our guys are fighting there today, getting injured and dying. It is no longer possible to do otherwise. What are these sacrifices for then? Of course, we will support the people who live in these territories. But in the end, their future will depend only on the people who live there. And we will respect any choice they make.” – Putin said.
“Putin has now frightened patriots in Russia and many of his supporters when he said that the restoration of Russia’s relations with Ukraine is completely inevitable in the future. But the majority of Putin’s supporters want that in the future there will be no Ukraine, that all Ukrainian regions will join Russia, because Russians live there. And “we are one people.” Putin has said this many times before. And that any Ukraine will always be used by the West against Russia. And now it turns out that Putin wants to leave Ukraine? And hopes that there will be good relations with Ukraine?”,” political scientist Sergei Markov wrote in his TG channel.
