Russian President Vladimir Putin will recognize the independence of eastern Ukraine's separatist republics, the Kremlin said in a statement Monday, adding that he had informed the French and German leaders of his decision.

"In the near future, the president plans to sign the order," the Kremlin said. It added that French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz had "expressed disappointment" over the decision in phone calls with Putin.

Russia’s Foreign Minister Lavrov, who is of Russian-Armenian background, said this during the RF security council meeting on the status of Donbass today:
“Slavs, Orthodoxy, and, specifically, everything Russian is under attack”

Not in the whole region. The “separatists” have been the military there. For another hour or so.

But it’s a tiny incursion so Biden already said that was ok.

Germans should really STFU about anything having to do with eastern Ukraine for another century or so.

Some other FReeper made the interesting comment - Ukraine in NATO would put Germans and Ukraine neo-nazis on the Russian border at the same spot they were in December 1942

My guess is that Donetsk and Luhansk are more like Russia than Puerto Rico is like the United States. Doesn’t stop the left from wanting to grant them statehood.

*** After recognizing the breakaway republics in the former Yugoslavia the west’s protests of outrage will ring hollow to the Russkies***

Putin just signed the document recignizing the DPR/LPR’s Independence at the end of his speech.

“ Well, Biden supported Trudeau’s BIG power grab...told him to do it....effectively...Trudeau activated wht we would call War Powers AND he did it without Parliament voting on it.”

All a part of the reason I can’t give two s—ts about what Putin does in Ukraine and what goes on in Eastern Europe. I already am living under the worst leadership and the worst government on Earth. Ukraine isn’t a Hill of Beans compared to the crap we have to deal with in the most depraved, ill-led society on the planet. We are turning into a fascist dictatorship in our own right…right here where we live in a country our own leadership is trying to destroy.

Couldn’t care less about Ukraine’s troubles. They matter not one bit to us living here…unless our own putrid government tries to start a nuclear war over it.

PUTIN: I WILL SAY SOMETHING IVE NEVER SAID FOR THE FIRST TIME: I ASKED CLINTON HOW WOULD YOU FEEL ABOUT RUSSIA JOINING NATO?
PUTIN SAYS WE SAW FIVE WAVES OF NATO EXPANSION RECENTLY
U.S. DOES NOT NEED SUCH A BIG COUNTRY AS RUSSIA IN NATO
‘WHY MAKE AN ENEMY OF US
PUTIN SAYS RUSSIA HAS EVERY RIGHT TO PROTECT ITS SECURITY, THAT’S WHAT WE’LL DO
PUTIN: UKRAINE DOESNT WANT A PEACEFUL RESOLUTION
PUTIN: RUSSIA WILL TAKE STEPS TO ENSURE ITS SECURITY
PUTIN SAYS RUSSIA WILL RECOGNISE INDEPENDENCE OF TWO BREAKAWAY REGIONS IN EASTERN UKRAINE”

Donetsk and Luhansk, put a circle around those areas on a map and super impose one of those “I did that Biden stickers” on it.

So now The Bidet and his merry band of lightweights has their attention on Ukraine. Expect Xi to move on Taiwan soon. The most highly allegedly elected president in US history will surely know what to do. Oh no, that could be a real problem because whatever the dodo does will surely be the wrong move and the wrong time in the wrong place.

So Creepy Joe Biden has nothing in one hand and shit in the other. In spite for f the supposed dastardly genius of the Russians the Democrats sure do think that the senile grifter can outsmart them.

What a clown show.

In those eastern territories all that the Russians already there have to do is pull out their Velcro army patches and pop them on their uniforms. No transportation needed.
