The Admission of 4 Said Cossack General October 1, 2022 I am showing the map where Russia borders with Ukraine and the 4 cities and areas of today's news, as well as Kiev (Kiyev), the capital of Ukraine, and the place where Russia started from when it was called Rus' (Kievskaya Rus'). During Prince Vladimir in 989 AD (10th century) Russia adopted Russian Orthodox faith which is related to Greek Orthodox church. Christianity came to replace the pagan faith and traditions. In the below citation of the speech the general says “Donbass“ which means “Donetskiy bassein“. That;s how we usually called the area during Soviet Union. The name of the city is Donetsk of People Republic of Donetsk. The capital of Zaporozhye (in Ukrainian language Zaporizhye) is Mariupol which suffered greatly recently. The map is in Russian language, so those who know Cyrillic alphabet to some extent can compare the names spelled in Russian on the map and English equivalents. Source:
