Words of Truth, Thoughts of Truth
On Tuesday 24 Elul 5782 United States National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said "We will never recognise this territory as anything other than a part of Ukraine. We reject Russia's actions unequivocally.". These comments come as the Donetsk People's Republic, the Lugansk People's Republic, the Kherson region and the Zaporozhye region all announced that they be holding referenda to ask whether or not the territories should join the Russian Federation. It is expected that the territories will vote to join the Russian Federation and Russia will annex the territories. The implications are far reaching as this will me that Western powers will be supplying weapons for a Ukrainian offensive on Russian territory. According to Russia's nuclear doctrine this will fulfill the criteria for Russia's use of nuclear weapons.
