A year following the annexation of the four Ukrainian territories, September 30 became Unity Day in Russia. The opportunity for Russian leaders to make some declarations on the continuation of the war. A way of trying to mobilize the population by affirming that Moscow will go all the way.

For Vladimir Putin, the defense of the Russian-speaking populations of Donbass is nothing other than a way of defending Russia itself and preserving the Russian homeland, sovereignty, spiritual values and unity. This is what the president declared on television in a new variation of the narrative which presents Russia as a victim of a decadent West.
The opportunity also to promise a regeneration of the annexed regions of Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporizhia and Kherson. In the belligerent, very direct style that now characterizes him, former President Dmitri Medvedev also wanted to celebrate what we call here the attachment of the Ukrainian regions to mother Russia.
The operation in Ukraine will continue until the complete destruction of the Nazi regime in Kiev and the liberation of originally Russian territories, the man who is now number 2 in the Russian Security Council said on his Telegram account. Another opportunity for those who are not on the verge of provocation to assert that more new regions will integrate Russia. Comments coming from the highest summit of the State which show that the Russian authorities are far from considering de-escalation.
