– A partial mobilization in Russia is announced as of today.
– Only those citizens who are in the reserve will be subject to compulsory military service and, above all, those who have served in the armed forces, have certain military specialties and relevant experience.
– Those called up for military service before being sent to units will definitely have additional military training.
– The main objectives of the special operation remain unchanged, the LPR was fully launched, the DPR – partially
– Russia was asked to support the referendums. We will do everything possible to ensure the safe conduct of the referendums.
– The regime of repressions throughout Ukraine was strengthened in the harshest way. The policy of intimidation, terror and violence is assuming ever more terrible and barbaric forms.
– The Ukrainian people have become cannon fodder.
– The goal of the West is to weaken, divide and destroy our country. They directly say that in 1991 they were able to divide the USSR, and now the time has come for the Russian Federation itself to be divided into many warring regions.
– The West gave direct instructions to Kyiv to interrupt all agreements with Russia reached during the negotiations.
– I have already instructed the Government, the Ministry of Defense as a whole and in the shortest time possible to determine the legal situation of the volunteers and combatants of the LPR and DPR. It must be the same as that of the regular military, including medical care and social guarantees.
