On 30 September 2022, Russian president Vladimir Putin gave a 37-minute long speech to both chambers of the Russian parliament about the annexation of Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts into Russia.[1][2] He spoke in the St. George Hall of the Grand Kremlin Palace in the Moscow Kremlin.[3][4] The tone of the speech was strongly anti-American and anti-Western, to the point where observers described it as his most anti-Western speech to date.[5]
Address[edit]
Following the results of recent referendums on the annexation of occupied territories of Ukraine by Russia – which were condemned as shams by independent observers and the international community – Putin said that it was the "will of millions of people" in these territories to become part of Russia and to become Russian citizens "forever". He cited Article 1 of the UN charter as justification for his claims.[4][6]
Within the speech, Putin spoke about the colonial past of the Western world, denouncing its "totalitarianism, despotism and apartheid",[3] and accused it of attempting to create a neo-colonial and unipolar world order.[4] He said that the West intended to destroy Russia as a nation[7] and called "the ruling circles of the so-called West" as "the enemy"[7] threatening religion and morality, accusing the West of Satanism.[4]
Putin also blamed the recent Nord Stream gas leaks on the "Anglo-Saxons"[4] and said that the use of nuclear weapons by the US on Hiroshima and Nagasaki "set a precedent".[4]
