new regions of Russia. Russia's war against Ukraine.

"Residents of the new regions voted to join Russia, to restore their legal rights. In the context of the Ukrainian settlement, Russia is concerned not with the problem of territories, but with people who do not want to live under the control of the Kyiv Nazi regime." russian media write a lot about this, distorting reality in their imperial interests.
This claim is part of a disinformation campaign aimed at justifying russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and annexation of its territory. moscow's artificial concern for the russian-speaking population of Ukraine is one of the pretexts for occupying an independent state and promoting geopolitical interests.

This issue came to a head in February 2014, when russia invaded and illegally annexed Ukraine's Crimean peninsula and parts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. To this day, the international community does not recognise these territories as russian, which makes it very difficult for putin to ‘legitimise’ his ‘achievements’. This is because the referendums in the occupied territories were not held legally in accordance with international standards, which means that the results were falsified. This has been recognised by leading international and human rights organisations, including the UN, OSCE, NATO, as well as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
There is no evidence that any ethnic citizens, including ethnic russians or russian-speaking Ukrainians, face persecution by the Ukrainian authorities or restrictions on their rights. At the same time, russia is silent about the ways in which it is ‘liberating’ people from the ‘Kyiv Nazis’ - simply by dropping bombs on their homes. Those who survive are ‘welcome to russia’. And if the russians encounter resistance and condemnation among local residents, they immediately send these people to prison, where they are subjected to brutal torture and ‘re-education’.

In fact, it is the most russian-speaking regions of Ukraine that suffer the most from missile attacks by the russian army, which destroys entire ‘russian-speaking’ cities. The claim that russia thinks about people, not territories, is pure hypocrisy. There are many Ukrainians in Crimea and other occupied territories who never voted to join russia. They dream of returning to Ukraine, but they have no right to vote - only the right to be tortured and harassed.
