Earlier the documents were unanimously endorsed by the <keyword id="1153848" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Federation-Council" source="Orion">Federation Council</keyword>, the upper house of the Russian parliament. The agreements were ratified on Monday by the State Duma, the lower house of parliament, after they were certified as lawful by the country's Constitutional Court over the weekend, RT reported. The agreements were signed by <keyword id="6355086" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Putin" source="Orion">Putin</keyword> and the heads of the four former Ukrainian regions on Friday, after the residents of the territories overwhelmingly backed the idea of joining Russia during referendums held between September 23 and 27. The votes have been firmly rejected by Kiev and its Western backers, who have vowed to never accept their results nor recognize the four regions' accession, RT reported. The DPR and LPR split from Ukraine in 2014 in the aftermath of the Maidan coup and the civil conflict in the country's east that followed. Shortly after launching a military operation in February this year, Russia seized Kherson Region and a larger part of Zaporozhye Region. Russia sent troops into Ukraine on February 24, citing Kiev's failure to implement the Minsk agreements, designed to give the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk special status within the Ukrainian state. The protocols, brokered by Germany and France, were first signed in 2014. Former Ukrainian President Pyotr Poroshenko has since admitted that Kiev's main goal was to use the ceasefire to buy time and "create powerful armed forces". In February 2022, the Kremlin recognised the Donbass republics as independent states and demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join any Western military bloc. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked.

Putin signs unification treaties for new regions

Russian citizens called up from the reserve as part of partial mobilisation have begun intensive combat training in the zone of the ongoing special military operation in Ukraine. Footage of the newly-arrived reservists undergoing training as part of platoons and assault groups has been made public by the Russian Ministry of Defence. The videos show "experienced mentors" from <keyword id="6358826" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="russia" source="Orion">Russia</keyword>'s <keyword id="2769108" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="airborne-forces" source="Orion">Airborne Forces</keyword> giving lessons in combat coordination to the military personnel. Honing skills in fire training with standard weapons - including shooting from <keyword id="747340" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kalashnikov" source="Orion">Kalashnikov</keyword> (AK-74) assault rifles, machine guns and RPG-7 hand grenade launchers - as well as storming buildings, installing, detecting and neutralizing explosive devices, tackling radiation, chemical and biological hazards are all part of their extensive drills which are being conducted "day and night". In the course of combat coordination, the military personnel will also master the skills in providing first aid to the wounded and conducting evacuation from the battlefield. "After the combat coordination, the units, staffed by mobilised citizens and volunteers, will begin to carry out the tasks for which they were intended," the Russian Defence Ministry detailed. Even as the military personnel learn skills of operating as part of units and master the military equipment and weapons, the process of sending mobilized citizens continues all over Russia. Ceremonies are being conducted to send hundreds of citizens to the training grounds of various military districts as the military orchestra performs 'Farewell of Slavianka' - the famous Russian patriotic march. Far away at one of the training grounds of the <keyword id="1850693" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="black-sea-fleet" source="Orion">Black Sea Fleet</keyword> in Crimea, the reservists are learning to operate unmanned aerial vehicles, including quadcopter drones. The crews are also trained to drop a payload simulating an explosive device from a special device attached to the drone. The purpose of the training course, says the Russian Defence Ministry, is to develop the skills necessary for conducting aerial reconnaissance, geospatial orientation, and recognition of various objects, including camouflaged ones. Calling out his countrymen for military service in the eighth month of ongoing conflict with Ukraine, Russian President <keyword id="43440" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="vladimir-putin" source="Orion">Vladimir Putin</keyword> had announced the partial mobilisation on September 21. "If the territorial integrity of our country is threatened, we use all available means to protect our people - this is not a bluff," Putin said in a TV address to the nation. As reported by IndiaNarrative.com earlier, Russia plans to utilise the resources of its vast - almost 25 million - reserves who have combat experience and military specialty. "The time has come to put into practice the experience gained during the annual strategic exercises," said Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu.
