Russian President Vladimir Putin is very familiar with Adolf Hitler's book, and he simply repeats his actions according to this book.

Ukraine's Chargé d'Affaires in Armenia Denys Avtonomov said this at a briefing on Wednesday, February 23, Ukrinform reports.

"He worked in the GDR, in the KGB residency. I think that he is by definition very familiar with the works of Adolf Hitler's 'My Struggle.' One of the key messages of this book is that Austria is not a state, and the nation cannot be divided. In other words, there's just a repetition: 'Ukraine is not a state. The nation cannot be divided'," the diplomat said.

According to Avtonomov, first the Russian leader "bites a piece where he can" and then starts a big war: "Again, Munich, the Anschluss of Austria, the Sudetenland - Ukraine, Transnistria, Abkhazia, Ossetia."

On February 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed decrees recognizing the independence of puppet entities "LPR" and "DPR."

On February 22, at a press conference in the Kremlin, Putin said that Russia was recognizing "DPR" and "LPR" within the borders of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

Russia's decision to recognize self-proclaimed "republics" in the temporarily occupied territories of eastern Ukraine has provoked a backlash from world leaders, organizations and countries. Their statements say that the recognition of illegal entities in the temporarily occupied territories of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions is a violation of international law, a gross violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.
