️🇷🇺🇺🇦🇺🇸 Russian President Vladimir Putin said that territories lost by Kyiv are "not their territory" but "the territory of historical Russia", claiming that the people of Donbass and Novorossiya voted for annexation to the Russian Federation.

"First of all, my opinion on this matter is that it is not their territory. This is the territory of historical Russia.

All the more because the people who live in these territories voted, firstly, for the independence of the country, and secondly - and I want to emphasize this - for reunification with the Russian Federation."
