The Kremlin and the State Duma assessed the initiative to recognize the DNR and LNR

January 21 2022

On Wednesday, January 19, communist deputies turned to Vladimir Putin with a draft appeal for diplomatic recognition of the DPR and LPR with the prospect of further assistance to these already independent states. The press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov, as well as some parliamentarians, expressed their position on this matter.

According to the official speaker of the Kremlin, State Duma deputies should not, in pursuit of political points to further complicate the already difficult situation that has developed in relations between Moscow and Kiev.

Now, when the situation is so tense and sensitive, it is very important to avoid any steps that could provoke an increase in this tension.

- said Dmitry Peskov in a conversation with reporters.

Meanwhile, State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin wrote on his telegram channel that Sergei Mironov announced the readiness of his Just Russia – For Truth faction to support the idea of recognizing the self-proclaimed republics. Deputies from the United Russia party are also concerned about the safety of Russian citizens living in the Donbas due to the increased escalation of tension in the region.

The leader of the LDPR faction, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, believes that the recognition of the DPR and LPR by Moscow will not give visible positive results and will only provoke the West to new anti-Russian measures.

According to Viacheslav Volodin, consultations with the leaders of parliamentary factions on this issue will be held next week.

Some Beliberda. Peskov is cunning.
After issuing ultimatums, to be afraid of increased tension, or - even worse, to back down, looks somehow not at all convincing.

  There is the official position of Russia, which is widely voiced by our Foreign Ministry, and what is now being said at the talks is very much taken into account.
  
  So officially, at the moment, as in other matters and earlier, Russia (represented by officials Ryabkov, Lavrov) calls on Kiev to implement the Minsk agreements, etc.
  
  Perhaps there are plans to recognize the LDNR in the near future, say, at the beginning of this year, but right now the Communist Party of the Russian Federation came out with their self-promotion absolutely at the wrong time.
  
  IMHO, in the State Duma, perhaps such a document was being worked out somewhere in the commissions, so that at the RIGHT moment it would appear, the communists found out and decided to become the first to break more hype.

Send Peskov and Zhirinovsky to the Donbass, let them feel the tension under shelling in their own skin, and then we will listen to how they will talk about positive results.

Let's move further along the timeline. The DPR and LPR are recognized by the Russian Federation. Yes, now there are many rejections and diplomatic fouettes at the official level, but the logic of events does not suggest otherwise. Should this issue eventually be resolved? Yes! And if the Ukrainians had brains, they would have agreed to the Minsk agreements long ago. Honestly, it does not threaten them with anything other than solving many pressing problems. But such a mentality they have - the mind is not comprehensible! God bless them, but there are questions!
What do Ukrainians do after the fact of recognition of independence? Rushing into the last and decisive battle?
What are the LNR and DNR doing? Are they turning to Russia for military assistance? Will they be denied? Maybe that's why trains with military equipment rushed from the depths of Russia to the western borders? Technology was concentrated. The Americans were nervous. Does this mean that everything is already predetermined?
The West refuses to negotiate. It should be immediate: Oh, how are you!? ... And then what? Do the DPR and LPR demand the return of territories within their former administrative borders? Should an insulting refusal and everything goes to military action? And if Donets and Luhansk urgently join the CSTO, will Russia and the CSTO help them? Formally, their territory, and on it a foreign and external threat. And who are the consultants from NATO? Interventionists? And what should be done with them? Well, in war as in war!
Say it's impossible? I bet that the NATO ultimatum also seemed impossible! Even the coolest experts! What is there, what is here. However ... Something has changed and there is a premonition that the world will not be the same.

Well, let's face it, what's next?
Extra Western howl and new sanctions. What are these states, especially independent ones? Don't make fun of my slippers
They were supposed to become part of the outskirts on the rights of autonomy and destroy it with our help from the inside
That's all..

The Kremlin Balabol avoids a direct answer and simply chats away the problem, which is partly the fault of the Kremlin, which gave hope to people (DNR and LNR) and actually ignores its resolution!!! Human fate is obtained in limbo. And on ... one wonders they started an exchange of Ukrainian passports for Russian ones ?!

  According to chronology, at first there was a referendum in the LDNR on secession from Ukraine, then the Minsk agreements.
  The Minsk agreements are signed by representatives of the LDNR.
  
  It’s purely formal if you look, but in such matters you should try to observe the formal side:
  1. LDNR was in favor of leaving, based on a referendum.
  2. LDNR changed its position and stood for solving problems on the basis of the Minsk agreements, signed this document. The Minsk agreements assume that the LDNR remain part of Ukraine, with a special status but within.
  
  Yes, Kiev does not comply with these agreements and is not going to, but no one has withdrawn the signature, this document is valid, it is recognized as the only settlement option by the UN Security Council.
  
  Purely hypothetically, if Russia simply recognizes the LDNR right away, then it will turn out that we are acting against Ukraine, the LDNR, the UN.
  
  Not everything is as simple as the populists from the Communist Party want to present.

  Yes, Peskov is a penguin from head to toe and how Putin tolerates him (he has so many punctures). Peskov is a sleeping snake on Russia's chest.
  He seems not to have been seen in "drunk", but in the morning he drinks intensely cold water. Somewhere like that.

    Komerchi (KPRF) carry out the instructions of the State Department, launching the so-called "own initiatives" across Russia's policy.

To be honest, there is no point in delaying the recognition of the Republics. There is no common sense. Ukrainian agreements are not accepted by Minsk. So let's send the ditch away.
