"Russia Will 'Vigorously Defend' Rights of Compatriots Abroad, Putin Says"
Russia will strongly defend the rights of its compatriots abroad, President Vladimir Putin said at the World Congress of Compatriots in Moscow on Wednesday. Rossotrudnichestvo, the government agency for promoting Russia in the world, estimates that about 30 million Russian compatriots live abroad. According to Putin, Russophobia as well as other forms of “aggressive nationalism” are spreading in countries around the world. “It happens in Ukraine, in the Baltics. In other countries. We know about this,” the president was cited as saying by the state-run RIA Novosti news agency. “History is being rewritten and a battle is being fought against monuments and the Russian language,” he added. Putin vouched to decisively protect the rights and interests of compatriots, using “all existing bilateral and international mechanisms.” The president’s comments came after he signed a decree to ease the process for compatriots to return to Russia and claim citizenship, Interfax reported earlier on Wednesday. Putin estimated that about 800,000 compatriots had moved back to Russia in the past 12 years.
^ Putin said this in the past and that's why the Russian Military invaded and occupied South Ossetia, Abkhazia, the Crimea and the Donbas. It is also the same exact speech that Adolf Hitler used (he said German compatriots instead of Russian compatriots) in the 1930s and why he invaded and occupied Czechoslovakia and Austria. It seems Putin is simply reading off of Hitler's playbook. We all know how that ended. Putin should just focus on helping the millions upon millions of Russians living inside the Russian Federation - most who are struggling to get the basics. ^
