Dmitry Medvedev talks about Russia's 'primitive land'

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

Mr. Medvedev noted that a year ago, residents of those regions made a life-changing decision to reunite with the Fatherland. “Their choice has become a symbol not only of restored historical justice, but also of the unity, strength of will and great determination of the Russian people,” he stressed. “Victory will be ours and there will be more new regions of Russia,” Mr. Medvedev asserted.

Also related to this issue, Chairman of the State Duma (Lower House) of Russia Vyacheslav Volodin said that the decision of the people of the four regions to join Russia has created new development opportunities. "The choice of reunification 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 determined a common future, opening up new development opportunities," Mr. Volodin pointed out. He also noted that together with the new regions, Russia will overcome all challenges and become even stronger.

September 30 is the Day of Reunification of the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, as well as the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions with Russia. On September 30 last year, Russian President Vladimir Putin and the heads of the DPR and LPR, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions signed treaties on joining Russia./.
