RUSSIA WILL FORMALLY ANNEX FOUR MORE UKRAINIAN REGIONS

  • 29/09/2022

Russia's Vladimir Putin will hold a signing ceremony on Friday to annex four more areas of Ukraine following self-proclaimed referendums that Ukraine and the West have condemned as a sham.

Russian-backed officials had earlier claimed the five-day exercise secured almost total popular support.

So-called votes were held in Luhansk and Donetsk in the east, and in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson in the south.

The Russian president will make a major speech at the Kremlin.

A stage has already been set up in Moscow's Red Square, with billboards proclaiming the four regions as part of Russia and a concert planned for the evening.
