Vladimir Putin recognizes Donbass Republics: key points

– I consider it necessary to make a long overdue decision – to recognize the sovereignty of the Donetsk and Luhansk republics;

– We demand from those who seized and held power in Kiev to immediately stop hostilities;

– The US is making an enemy out of Russia just because they don’t need such a big country;

– the constitution of Ukraine does not allow foreign military bases, but this was bypassed, they call the NATO base a mission;

– Ukraine’s accession to NATO not now, but a little later, does not change anything for Russia;

– in the case of the deployment of NATO radar equipment in Ukraine, they can control the territory of Russia;

– the main enemy for NATO is Russia, Ukraine will serve as a battlefield for the strike.
