Ranting despot vows to 'SMASH' the West in blistering Kremlin speech - even as thousands of his troops are surrounded in Donbas
Vladimir Putin today declared that Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Luhansk and Donetsk are officially part of Russia following sham referendums, kicking off a dangerous new phase of the war.

Vladimir Putin has annexed four Ukrainian regions to Russia in a blistering Kremlin speech in which he also vowed to 'smash' the West and liberate the world, raising fears he is preparing to deploy Moscow's huge nuclear arsenal.
The Russian despot, speaking in front of his cronies in Moscow, declared that 'millions of people' had 'opted' to become vassals of Russia after staging sham referendums in which gun-toting troops went door-to-door with clear glass ballot boxes in order to force people to vote.
'They are our people, forever,' he said to a standing ovation inside the Kremlin's grand Georgian Hall before calling on Ukraine and its Western allies to abandon hopes of re-taking them, repeating a threat to use 'all forces' to defend 'Russia's new territories'.
He then turned his sights on the West, delivering hate-laced screed in which he recalled the horrors of colonialism, both world wars, Korea, and Vietnam; made homophobic jibes and accused westerners of being 'Satanists'; vowed 'Western hegemony will be smashed' and spoke of Russia's 'destiny' to liberate the world.
Putin's promise to protect his 'new territories' will be put to an almost-immediate test as thousands of Russian troops are currently thought to be encircled in Lyman, in the Donetsk region, with the city on the verge of falling and the troops either being captured or killed in the process - possibly within the next few hours.
Russia is also continuing to attack the regions it now claims as part of its own country, firing a rocket at a humanitarian convoy of cars in Zaporizhzhia earlier in the day - killing at least 25 civilians and wounding 50 in the process. The cars were heading into Russian-occupied territory to distribute aid, Ukrainian officials said.
