During the words of the Russian president about love for the motherland, the head of Chechnya raised his head, trying to look away. At that moment, tears welled up in his eyes, the newspaper notes.
“People passed on their spiritual connection to their children and grandchildren, despite all the trials, they carried love for Russia through the years. And no one can destroy this feeling in us,” Vladimir Putin said at that moment.
The Russian President delivered a speech during the signing ceremony of agreements on the entry into Russia of four new territories: the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions. The ceremony continues in the St. George Hall of the Grand Kremlin Palace. The heads of regions, as well as ministers, senators and deputies are invited to it.
The decision to join the new territories was made after the referenda, which took place from 23 to 27 September. About 87% of the inhabitants of the territories supported joining Russia.
