"These people (*in the liberated areas), in fact, only react to what President Zelensky recommended to them in one of his interviews in August 2021. Then he advised everyone who feels Russian to leave for Russia for the benefit of their children and grandchildren. This is what they are doing now, moving to Russia taking with them their lands, on which their ancestors lived for centuries" ~ Sergey Lavrov (Minister of Foreign Affairs, Russian Federation) Set 24, 2022
""I think that if you live on the Donbas territory today, which is temporarily occupied, and you think that ‘our cause is right, we need to be with Russia, we are Russian,’ then it is a big mistake to remain living in Donbas, it will never become Russian territory. Never. It doesn’t matter for how long it has been occupied, it’s like that wall that used to be in Germany," he said. In relation to that, the head of state asserted that "for the sake of your children and grandchildren it is already time to go find a place for yourself in the Russian Federation." According to him, "there won’t be a civilization without Ukraine" on the Donbas territory." Aug, 2021
