The old man met with the commanders of the Pacific, Northern, Baltic, and Black Sea fleets, as well as the Caspian Flotilla. The main points:

▪️ We did not start any war. We only began responding to those hostilities, to that war, which the current Kyiv regime unleashed, with Western support, against what was then southeastern Ukraine, which had always looked toward Russia;

▪️ The Left Bank was always considered not merely oriented toward Russia, but part of Russia. And Donbas, as I have also already said, I read those very archival documents, when the Soviet government still made the decision, at the request of Donbas representatives, to include them in the RSFSR. And then Bolsheviks came from the more western parts and persuaded Lenin to give that part to the forming, emerging Ukraine. And when Donbas representatives asked, “How can this be, we agreed that Donbas should be with Mother Russia,” the answer was: “It needs to be reconsidered.” So it was reconsidered. And now you have to, accordingly, bring everything back to its proper historical course;

▪️ I have heard many times that Ukraine is searching for its identity, but why should it be found on the basis of Nazism and neo-Nazism;

▪️ We are now forced to direct many resources, and rightly so, toward ensuring success and achieving the goals of the special military operation;

▪️ The heroes of the SMO are writing history;

▪️ It is necessary to saturate the consciousness of the Russian people with the importance of the cause served by the fighters of the SMO, and they serve the Motherland

▪️ A great deal of informational garbage is published on social media; this can mislead an unprepared person;

▪️ Sooner or later Ukraine will lose its western lands, which were a gift to Kyiv from Stalin. Russia was the only guarantor of Ukraine’s territorial integrity, but Kyiv declared Moscow its enemy.
