Russia confirmed on Thursday it will formally annex parts of Ukraine where occupied areas held Kremlin-orchestrated “referendums” on living under Moscow’s rule that the Ukrainian government and the West denounced as illegal and rigged.

The official annexation was widely expected following the votes that wrapped up on Tuesday in the areas under Russian occupation in Ukraine and after Moscow claimed residents overwhelmingly supported for their areas to formally become part of Russia. “This is the opposite of free and fair elections,” Baerbock said. “And this is the opposite of peace. It’s dictated peace. As long as this Russian diktat prevails in the occupied territories of Ukraine, no citizen is safe. No citizen is free.”

Ukraine too has dismissed the referendums as illegitimate, saying it has every right to retake the territories, a position that has won support from Washington. “The rescuers have taken her from under the rubble, she was asleep when the Russian missile hit,” said local administrator Valentyn Reznichenko.

“The collapse of the Lyman pocket will likely be highly consequential to the Russian grouping in northern Donetsk and western Luhansk oblasts and may allow Ukrainian troops to threaten Russian positions along the western Luhansk” region, the institute said.

Kremlin did this as an excuse for tactical nuclear weapons if Ukraine invaded these areas

The United States of America on July 7 1898 did the Annexation of Hawaii a Sovereign country and no one said a thing.why?

Why isn’t UN telling Putin “in your dreams comrade'! Biden should strangle Russia, if he had half the balls Trump had!

I guess this is not legal than Kosovo

The West has no proof that referendums were either illegal or rigged!

It was absurdly false and illegal. I hope that all of Ukraine is United under Kyiv soon and that the invaders get beaten back

Gas pipeline has a leak.

The EU and the US wanted to divide Russia into many states, but Russia decided to expand its borders. Biden's handlers are in a panic.😜🤣

Ukraine should announce the same about some Russian territories.

Annex? Thought the Citizens of those regions voted to secede from a country in the complete control of Semitic Colonizers and become a member of a federation ruled by native Europeans.

They can claim they annex the territories but they will not be able to keep them.

That's fine....Ukraine will 'annex' them back with US/EU weapons soon enough.

🇷🇺🔩

Neville Chamberlain's appeasement all over again. History repeats itself.

Can we just get rid of this guy already

Putin plans to formally annex 4 regions from Ukraine FridayRussian President Vladimir Putin intends to formally annex four regions from Ukraine on Friday, the Kremlin said, after Moscow-backed proxies claimed victory in sham referendums held at gunpoint. Watching an unhinged, disordered narcissistic psychotic Trump rule the U.S. with access to nukes was terrifying but Putin has lost all connection to reality. Guess I’ll just drink my coffee, stare at the mountains and pretend this isn’t really happening. I'm declaring the Urals region of Russian part of a as-yet-declared country that will be called Danistan. Why/how is it seemingly that easy to annex someone else's territory?

U.S.: If accepted, Putin's 'sham' referendums in Ukraine 'will open a Pandora's box'The U.S. will introduce a UN Security Council resolution condemning Russia's 'sham' referendums in four occupied regions of Ukraine, U.S. Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield said Tuesday. Dear Russia, Democracy doesn't happen at gunpoint. GFY, America A coalition led by Biden should initiate a resolution stripping Russia’s veto authority. It’s ridiculous!!! They should have NO involvement whatsoever!!! What is Mr Putin’s rationale for a referendum? He obviously does not care about the US or European opinion - is it to appease Mr Xi and the PROC people? Strange what despots go through to manipulate their own people - easy w/ strict control of internet?
