“It
looks like a legalistic joke, but US authorities formally recognized
independence of the territory, part of which is now Donbass, back in
1959 when adopting the Captive Nations Week Resolution, reissued
annually for the last 56 years. The Captive Nations Week Resolution
(also known as Public Law 86-90) was introduced under President
Dwight D. Eisenhower over half a century ago, reports Global
Research, but has retained its relevance and significance until now.”
“The
document passed by both the Senate and House of Representatives in
1959 recognized the ‘Don’ territory that includes the lands where
the eastern Donetsk and Lugansk Regions are situated - as well
Ukraine’s Zaporozhye Region - as core countries of a Cossackia, a
subnational entity Washington placed on the territories of modern
Russia and Ukraine.”
“The
term Cossackia is a purely Western one. US political convention uses
it as a geopolitical term to describe the regions where Cossacks
usually lived under the Russian Empire, USSR and modern Russia. Apart
from three Ukrainian regions, it defines vast territories along the
lower course of the Don River, lands to the north and east from the
Sea of Azov, Russia’s current Krasnodar and Rostov Regions, and the
Stavropol Territory.”
