1/ Transcript of Vladimir Putin's speech this morning:

"I appeal to the Russians, to the military and security agencies and to those who have been pushed onto the path of armed insurgency by deceit and threats.

2/ What we are facing is betrayal. Unreasonable ambition has led to treason. The heroes who liberated Soledar and Artemovsk [Bakhmut], fought for Novorossiya, their name and glory have been betrayed by those who are trying to organize an insurgency.

3/ Pushing the country towards anarchy and fratricide.

Any internal turmoil is a mortal threat to our statehood, to us as a nation. Our actions to defend the Motherland will be tough. All those who have taken the path of betrayal will suffer inevitable punishment.

4/ The situation in Rostov remains difficult. In fact, the work of the civil and military authorities in the Rostov region is blocked.

Those who organized the military mutiny and raised arms against their comrades-in-arms have betrayed Russia.

5/ And they will answer for it. As a citizen of Russia I will do everything to defend the country, decisive action will be taken.

I urge you not to make a fatal, tragic mistake. To make the only right choice: to stop participating in criminal acts.

6/ I believe that together with our Motherland we will overcome any trials, we will become even stronger." /end
