“Donbass’ loyalty to Russia must not be thrown away” – Simonyan
It’s time for Moscow to decide on the annexation of Donbass to the Russian Federation.
RT editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan stated this in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda, according to a PolitNavigator correspondent.

“I generally try not to give in to immediate emotions. What I said in Donetsk I have been saying for seven years now. I think so, and I am convinced of it,” Simonyan said.
She also calls not to be afraid of new Western sanctions.
“And now we have no bullying, no sanctions, no war? It can’t get any worse,” says RT’s editor-in-chief.
At the same time, she emphasized that she is not an official or politician, and therefore cannot speak on behalf of the state.
“My little personal opinion is that you can’t throw away such devotion, you can’t abandon your own, you can’t help but see the pain, tears and blood of millions of Russian people who pray and trust only in us every day. My conscience does not allow this,” Simonyan concluded.
As PolitNavigator reported, at a forum in Donetsk, Simonyan called on Russia to "take Donbass home."
Following this, the Kremlin stated that the issue of incorporating Donbass into Russia was not on the agenda.
