Russia’s president laid out new territorial claims.
South-eastern regions of Ukraine, according to him, were conquered by Russian military leaders and given under control of Kyiv “in mid-twenties of past century”. “These are Kharkiv, Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson, Mykolaiv, Odessa were not parts of Ukraine in the tsarist times. These are all territories, given away by the Soviet government in the twenties. Why they did that, God knows”, - Russia’s president claimed during a direct line session taking place today.
Odessa: Putin does not speak for Odessa.
