Dmitry Medvedev speaks about Russia's 'primitive lands'.

"The special military operation will continue until the Nazi regime in Kyiv is completely wiped out in Ukraine and the original Russian lands are liberated from the enemy," he wrote on Telegram on the occasion of the Day of Unification of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR) as well as the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions with Russia.

Medvedev noted that a year ago, residents of those regions made the life-changing decision to reunite with their homeland. He emphasized: “Their choice has become a symbol not only of the restoration of historical justice but also of the solidarity, willpower, and immense determination of the Russian people.” Medvedev affirmed: “Victory will be ours, and there will be many more new regions of Russia.”

Also related to this issue, the Chairman of the Russian State Duma (Lower House of Parliament), Vyacheslav Volodin, said that the decision of the people of the four regions to join Russia has created new opportunities for development. "The choice to reunite with Russia, their historical homeland, made by the residents of Donetsk and Luhansk, as well as the Zapizhzhia and Kherson regions in 2022, has brought us all together and defined a common future, opening up new opportunities for development," Volodin pointed out. He also noted that together with the new regions, Russia will overcome all challenges and become even stronger.

September 30th marks the reunification day of the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, as well as the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, with Russia. Last year, on September 30th, Russian President Vladimir Putin and the heads of the DPR and LPR, and the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, signed treaties on their accession to Russia.
