Putin is beginning his speech, I will post everything interesting in this thread:

He welcomes everyone, including the people from Donbass and Southern Ukraine.

Says that people have made a "definitive choice" and Russia is signing to accept Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, LPR and DPR into the Russian Federation.

Expects the Federal Assembly to support his decision and the "will of the people" and create for new regions.

He is now talking about the UN Charter and the right to self-determination, as well as generic historical stuff.

Putin says this is happening for the sake of peaceful citizens in Ukraine who were prosecuted after the "2014 military coup".

Says a number of names of heroes who have died in the special military operation, calling them the "Heroes of Greater Russia".

Minute of Silence.

Talks about the common history between Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, DPR and LPR.

That common history is the reason why those regions want to re-unite, following the "tragic destruction of the USSR".

"The Last heads of the Soviet Union went against the will of the Soviet people, who wanted the union to remain united".

Says that Russia cannot return to the Soviet Union and that isn't it's aim, however there's nothing stronger to the will of people who want unity with Russia.

Kyiv's regime orchestrated genocide in Donbass, tried to cultivate hatred in Kherson.

The "real masters of Kyiv's regime" need to remember that people of DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia will be Russians, forever.

Putin now demands that Ukraine ceases military operations and comes to the negotiating table, which Russia is open to.

Says that Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk and Luhansk are "off the table", since the decision has been made.

Russia will rebuild the destroyed cities, secure healthcare, increase security, "will do everything to secure these regions against Ukraine".

President Putin now addresses the soldiers taking part in the Special Military Operation, their wives and children.

Putin says that "our brothers and sisters in Ukraine" know that the West wants to destroy Russia, and they believed that Russia wouldn't come back.

Now talking about 1990-99, how the West is trying to destroy Russia and break it up again, as they did when the Soviet Union fell.

He says that the West hates Russia because of it's natural riches and because it's people won't live under foreign oppression and "neo-colonialism".

Putin's says that the West is aggressive against independent states and traditional values, trying to undermine developing countries.

Additionally, he says that the US is trying to make the world surrender to them and become their vassals.

Continues talking about Western greed and seeking for power.

This is the reason for the West's war against Russia, because they want to make Russia a colony, because Russian philosophy is anathema. (reference to Dugina, talking about killing philosophers)

Says that Western goal of world domination has been defeated by Russia before, and it will be defeated again.

Putin now saying that the Western is declaring past agreements null and void, saying that the West in the one cutting ties with Russia, not the other way around.

"Russia is a great country and it's a great civilisation, and it's not going to live under those false rules".

"It's the west that broke that principle of borders, they're now unilaterally deciding who has the right for self-determination".

That's why they hate referendums.

"Germany has got a character of totalitarian nature and militarism".

Talks about how Germany wants to fight Russia because they consider Russians barbarians.

The West has always been a coloniser, saying that Russophobia is because western countries distinguish between nations.

Western elites believe that the sins of neoliberalism need to be accepted by everyone else.

Putin says that neo-colonial politics began in the middle ages, and that colonialism is the history of the West.

Talks about the Opium Wars, the British takeover of India.

Putin talks more about how Russia was the leader of the anti-colonial movement.

According to him, Russophobia is a result of the USSR not allowing the West from further pillaging former colonial nations.

That happened because Russia is built on strong values.

There where plans to intervene against Russia in the 17th century, plans that failed.

He says that those plans succeeded with the collapse of the USSR, with the West taking out trillions from Russia.

In Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, the people voiced their disagreement with this.

The Western world order is undemocratic and against liberty.

Says that the US is the only country to have used nuclear weapons, talking about the US carpet-bombing of German cities during WW2, how it was criminal and done to threaten the world and Russia.

The US is still occupying Korea, Japan and Germany, while it says that these countries are partners and allies.

The United States is dominating the world and developing chemical weapons and experimental super-soldiers (?).

US is provoking a refugee crisis because of their wars.

The US is stealing Ukrainian grain and giving it to Western countries and not underdeveloped countries.

Russia is exploiting Ukraine and their "tragedy" in order to exploit these states.

US demands more sanctions and dominates Europe, forcing countries to agree with threats.

"European Elites prefer to submit to those (US) demands, going against the will of people".

"Anglosaxons" commit terrorist attacks, and the US was behind the destroying Nordstream pipelines.

Washington is trying to expand NATO and make the West more subservient to them.

"These new colonial plans are presented by the West in the form of trying to contain other countries."

US is trying to contain Iran, China and other countries, saying that Washington is sanctioning all countries which aren't subservient to them.

Putin says that the US launched a "sanction blitzkrieg" against Russia, however they couldn't get the entire world against them.

Says that those who support sanctions are "political masochists".

The US uses brute force to "capture everything", which keeps America in the past.

The United States has drowned the truth out in the West, by using aggressive propaganda.

Now talking about Westerners going cold and not having food while the West is "printing money".

Inflated capitalisations won't feed anyone.

Western elites are trying to make their citizens shower and eat less, saying that this is the fault of failed Western policy, not Russia.

Domestic problems in the West aren't going to be solved by targeting Russia.

"The crisis of the beginning was solved with WW1".

The United States exploited the resources of the former Soviet Union, now they want to rob Russia in order to "plug their own holes".

If Washington succeeds it will collapse the international system and lead to a world war.

Russia will continue to follow international law.

Today, the West is moving to a "radical attack on the basic values of family".

Putin now asks the citizens of Russia "If they want father and mother to be replaced by parent number one and two."

If they want their kids to be advertised "sexual deviations" or be able be trans.

That is the dictature of Western elites, however Russians don't want to become like the West.

Western elites are in denial of people's rights and they are moving towards open satanism (!).

"Jesus told we will see people by their actions".

New development centres are being formed, where people will have true liberty, their own historical perspective and the right to harmony.

Russia has world-wide support, even in the US, in an anti-colonial freedom movement, which will determine the future of the world.

Russia is fighting for the rights to a just world, saying that nothing should be based on exceptionalism and one country being better than the other.

The destruction of Western hegemony will happen soon and the world will change forever.

Russia fights for Great, historic Russia

Russia is fighting for it's culture and language so it isn't cancelled and removed from history.

This unification lies on integrity and freedom, on compassion for each other.

Now quotes a Russian poet, talking about the importance of the Russian fatherland.

The choice was made by DPR, LRP, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia to be with their motherland, to follow their fate and their true path.

The truth is with them, that Russia supports them and is behind them.

*Everyone clapping from below."

The heads of the LPR, DPR, occupied Kherson and occupied Zaporizhzhia went onto the stage in order for the official ceremony to begin.

Putin signed the document, ratifying the annexation.

Agreement with Donetsk People's Republic, signed.

Agreement with Luhansk People's Republic, signed.

Agreement with Zaporizhzhia Region, signed.

Agreement with Kherson Region, signed.

Agreement into accepting the Donetsk People's Republic, signed.

Agreement into accepting the Luhansk People's Republic, signed.

Agreement into accepting the Zaporizhzhia Region, signed.

Agreement into accepting the Kherson Region, signed.

Everything is now signed and the national anthem is playing.

DPR, LPR and the occupied parts of Ukraine have now been officially annexed by the Russian Federation and made into new regions.

Handshake between Putin and the heads of the for now annexed regions.
