Putin Says DPR, LPR Military Fight for Liberation From Nazis as Did Their Ancestors
Sputnik News ^ | 5/8/22

Posted on 05/08/2022 10:52:54 AM PDT by marshmallow

The servicemen of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR) are fighting alongside the Russian military, who have been taking part in the special military operation in Ukraine since 24 February. President Vladimir Putin stressed that the operation was aimed at ending the "genocide" of the Donbass people.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has congratulated the people of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR) amid the 77th anniversary of the Soviet Union's WWII victory against the Third Reich. He stressed that the DPR and LPR military are currently fighting to be liberated from Nazism just like their ancestors had done in the Great Patriotic War.

The president also expressed confidence that just like in 1945, the people of the Donbass will prevail and be victorious.

In his holiday messages to other countries in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Putin stressed the need to prevent the re-emergence of Nazism, which brought so much suffering and woe in the past to people in many countries.

"We have to preserve and pass on to our posterity the truth about the events of [World War II], our common spiritual values and traditions of fraternal friendship", Putin said in his message to other leaders.

The soldiers of the DPR and LPR are fighting alongside Russian troops against the Ukrainian military and neo-Nazi battalions. Russian President Vladimir Putin authorised the use of the country's forces as a part of the special military operation, which he justified by citing the need to protect the Donbass republics.

Putin argued that the people of the DPR and LPR have been subjected to the "genocide" by "Kiev's regime", which was "hijacked" by nationalists and neo-Nazis after the West-backed coup in 2014. He added that Russia could no longer stay indifferent and was forced to intervene.....

You didn’t answer the question. Who will stand for Democracy? Elections, and the constitution of Ukraine that has suffered violence since 2014 when their democratically elected President was deposed by armed militants?

Many think it was the same group that subverted our 2020 election

Pretty much sums it up.

We fomented a revolution in 2014 that set off a civil war. We trained and funded neo-Nazis Azovs that terrorized the ethnically Russian population.
————-
Yes, the facts. The war cheerleaders ( senile Joe clan, western MSM) simply are getting snookered again, like the Covid vax scam.

The US governments training of the Neo Nazi’s is well proven, however we may be reaching a turning point. The Azov are now holed up in the steel plant, civilians now evacuated, numerous non western media is reporting the urgency to defend to the death is that several high ranking western active officers are there. US, French and British active army officers.

Many attempts to “ rescue” the poor Azov Neo Nazi boys were all shot down by Vlad- three attempts, at least half a dozen Hind’s destroyed. Which lead me to the same conclusion months ago, direct US involvement. Captured Azov from Marioupal have already stated this.

The truth will become known and verified shortly, and NATO officers POW’s being paraded through Red Square will be very damaging to the war cheerleaders cause.

Vlad needs to capture them alive, thus his strategy of starving them out instead of burying them under tons of rubble.

Nazi= NWO syndicate enforcers for the Ukrainian child trafficking, drug and gun running and money laundering operations. All of which the Big Guy has been getting his fair share for years along with Mitt Romney and Nancy Pelosi’s sons.

They can pray to St. Javelin, Zelensky won the most recent election by an overwhelming margin, he is their leader.

If you want to argue the Maiden Square incident and everything that occurred after that, do it elsewhere.

Sigh. The neo nazi supporters are less than 2%. They don’t even have seats in Ukrainian parliament.

Russia has more percentage of neo Nazis

As to your story about the Donbas, prior to 2014 the
breakaway parties that started the insurrection had a negligible following in the polls. They only achieved traction because Putin poured in arms, mercenaries and false-flag military units to back them.

Before the violence, opinion polls suggested that around 25% of the population supported some kind of a split. Compared to, say, the numbers of Scots that want to split from England, or the number of Catalans that want to separate from Spain, this number is very low.

And that was asked in the context of a constitutional separation, so we can assume that an even smaller percentage support the violent insurrection.

Putin engineered the breakaway and sent in Russian special forces.

There is a great demographic divide in the regions you mentioned and an agreement to give these people their proper representation was in progress and was very likely to have succeeded this year. Of course that was before the sudden brutal invasion of the entire country began.

As far as Yanukovich, he was in process of being impeached for gross corruption and was going to be removed one way or another. He said he would not step down even if impeached. The day parliament voted 73% for his impeachment, he willingly tucked tail to Russia when he knew it was inevitable.

He placed Russia-style limits on assembly and free speech that people yearning for freedom were NEVER going to accept peacefully. Only after the subsequent crackdowns on peaceful protestors did the violence truly begin

“Putin stressed the need to prevent the re-emergence of Nazism, which brought so much suffering and woe in the past to people in many countries.”

So says Stalin 2.0.

Read up on the Minsk 1 /2 accords. Signed by the Ukies, Russia, France Germany. The Ukies violated it by not allowing the Donbass provinces elections on self governance ( limited Independence from the Ukies).

The corrupted beggar Zelensky really needs to ditch those ethnic Russian provinces, they have been a huge problem for the Ukies since 2015.

Vlad will secure them at all costs. His war speech outlined his three major “ special operations “ objectives. Very nice of him to address his nation of his exact objectives. Like it or not- Vlad, like Trump, does what he says. Vlad does have his Duma ( Congress) approval and backing for now, something the US seems to never do when entering foreign “ entanglements”.

“ Following a request from President Vladimir Putin, the upper house of Russia’s parliament granted permission for the country’s military to be deployed abroad. This follows Putin’s recognition of the two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine.
The authorization grants Putin the right to use Russian forces abroad “in accordance with the principles and norms of international law,” the Senate’s resolution, which was released to the media, shows.”

Wow, just like our Founding Fathers envisioned. That said, our Founding Fathers also warned about “ foreign entanglements “. Forgotten long ago by the US, Bosnia, Libya, Somalia, Gulf War 1, 2, Afghanistan, Iraq…..seems a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

“ Pot Calling the Kettle Black
An expression that is said when one accuses another person of that which they are equally guilty of.
Many years ago, people used to cook over an open flame using copper kettles and iron pots. The copper kettles were usually polished after every use whereas the iron pots were not and remained blackened from the soot from previous cookings. Well someone got the idea that if the iron pot were alive and it looked at a nearby copper kettle, it would see a black image. The iron pot believes it sees the image of the copper kettle when in reality, because the copper kettle was polished, what the iron pot was seeing was a reflection of itself. This symbolic phrase became associated with hypocrisy. An accuser blames someone else for having a fault when the accuser has the same fault.

“Many think it was the same group that subverted our 2020 election”

Absolutely the case, it was the Neocons in Ukraine, and the Neocons who continue to insist that the election was fair, when they were position to do something about it.

Anyway, Russia made some significant progress in liberating Eastern Ukraine today, so that part of the war will likely being winding up soon.

If everything is so great, why have successive Ukrainian Governments been at war with the Separatist Republics that seceded after the 2014 coup d’etat?
