      not recognize any occupied territories as Russia’s

      And Rightly so. This article was just a sneak preview of Putins speech yesterday. He didn’t say anything concrete, so we’ll see how that develops.Afaik, RF doesn’t want a sustainable piece ( except “MIR” ofc), because they want to annex the Yalta lines.
