According to the Xinmin Evening News, when Russia was besieged by Western countries in Security Council, the "referendum on entry into Russia" in four regions of Ukraine has officially begun. According to the latest Russian media poll, most respondents in the four regions, Donetsk , Lugansk , Khlsson and Zaporoze , support joining the Russian Federation. Russia announced that after the above four places enter Russia, the attacks on the four places will be regarded as an attack on Russia's mainland.
The Security Council is at strife
Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov angrily denounced Western countries on the 224th that they have essentially participated in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. He said that Western countries claim to be neutral, but provide weapons and intelligence to Ukraine, which has violated the Hague Convention 's requirements for neutral country and has essentially participated in the conflict.

United Nations Security Council previously held a high-level meeting focusing on the Ukrainian issue, and foreign ministers of all member countries were invited to attend. This is the first time since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukraine conflict, Lavrov has lived in the same room with the foreign ministers of Ukraine and the members of the Security Council. The venue is full of gunpowder. Before the meeting began, when Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kureba was asked whether he would communicate with the other party if he was in the same room with Lavrov, he said that he would "main safe social distance" with the other party. At the meeting, US Secretary of State Blinken demanded that Russian President Putin be held accountable, and also called on every member of the Security Council to send a clear message to Russia that the nuclear threat must be stopped immediately.
Perhaps it was because of the situation that Lavrov did not attend the meeting on time and only showed up when it was his turn to speak, and left the scene after the speech.
"Today, someone tried to impose a completely different statement on us, and wanted to blame Russia for the root of this tragedy." In his speech, Lavrov accused Ukraine of oppressing Russians and Russian-speaking ethnic groups in the eastern Ukraine and killing residents of Donbas. He said the available evidence shows that Western countries not only incite conflict, but also directly get involved in conflict, but have not been punished for it. Russia's "special military operations" are inevitable. If Ukraine continues to play an anti-Russian role as a gathering place that threatens Russia's security, then Russia will never accept it.
denies threatening with nuclear weapon
23, the four regions of Ukraine, including Donetsk, Lugansk, Khlsson and Zaporoze, will hold a referendum on whether to agree to join the Russian Federation. The latest poll released by Russian media shows that the majority of those who agree in all four regions, with the highest proportion reaching 97%. The above four places are located in the southeast of Ukraine and are connected to each other, accounting for about 15% of Ukraine's total area. They are traditionally mostly Russian-speaking population and have been actually controlled by Russia in this conflict.
Vice Chairman of the Russian Federation Security Conference Medvedev previously stated that any newly joined Russia's territory is within the defense scope of Russia's strategic nuclear weapons and new weapons. This statement caused panic in the West, and the United States and other countries responded fiercely. In response, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov said on the 23rd that Russia did not threaten anyone with nuclear weapons, but warned that Western interference would face risks.
Ryabkov said that Russia's requirement for using nuclear weapons is clearly written in the Russian military doctrine, and it was refined in the "National Policy Foundations in the Field of Russia's Nuclear Deterrence" approved by Putin in 2020. According to the document, Russia clearly uses nuclear weapons in two situations: one is the use of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction against Russia and its allies, and the other is the use of conventional weapons to invade Russia and threaten the survival of the Russian state.
The Kremlin said that if the referendum results are shown by the polls, Russia will quickly initiate procedures for entering Russia in relevant regions.
