This, as we assess from our communication with the inhabitants of the region, is the will of the people themselves, most of whom lived for eight years under conditions of repression and bullying by the Ukronazis. Russia will no longer allow the fundamental rights of our compatriots to be violated, to shoot at the Russian world with impunity at the behest of the West", Muradov told RIA Novosti.
