Ends: Sep 30, 2023
DESCRIPTION:
Russian President Vladimir Putin commemorated the first Day of Reunification on September 30, 2023, marking the anniversary of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics and the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions becoming part of the Russian Federation.
On September 30, 2022, these regions were officially incorporated into Russia, following what Putin described as a "defining and truly historic event." He emphasized that, via referendums conducted in line with international norms, millions in these areas had chosen to align with their "Fatherland."
The Russian leader took a moment to reflect on the courage and resilience of these regions' inhabitants. According to Putin, Russia's decisions were made despite significant external pressure, including intimidation efforts and what he termed as nationalist-driven attempts to strip them of their cultural and linguistic heritage.
He referenced the events of 2014 in Kyiv, criticizing "nationalists and their Western patrons" for instigating a coup and subsequently sparking a large-scale civil conflict. This turmoil, Putin asserted, led to significant hardship in Donbas, including constant shelling and punitive actions.
In his speech, Putin passionately spoke of the unity between the Russian people and the residents of the newly incorporated territories. He noted that the recent elections in these regions reaffirmed their commitment to being part of Russia and expressed gratitude towards their contributions to Russia's strength and unity.
He also highlighted the ongoing efforts to rebuild and develop these regions, mentioning the construction of schools, hospitals, roads, and cultural sites. Contributions from volunteers, religious and civil organizations, entrepreneurs, and other entities were celebrated as evidence of a united country working in harmony.
Looking forward, Putin acknowledged that challenges remain. He voiced his commitment to implementing a comprehensive program for the socioeconomic revival of these historically significant regions.
In announcing the new holiday, the Russian President expressed his gratitude to the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republic residents and the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions. "Thanks to you, your fortitude and determination, Russia has become even stronger," he stated. "We are one people, and together we can overcome anything and meet any challenge."
Ending his address, Putin wished everyone a happy Day of Reunification with Russia.
