Russian President Vladimir Putin is preparing to formally approve the annexation of Ukraine on Friday (September 30). From Russia’s perspective, this will formalize its annexation of four regions of Ukraine. Although it does not yet have complete authority over these regions, Russia has conducted so-called referendums and even claimed victory.
Earlier this year, on February 24, Russia invaded Ukraine. Russian forces were forced back from sizable tracts of ground. It was after they made a sustained breakthrough in the early months that Ukrainian forces launched a counterattack.
The West has rejected the results of the four regional referendums from Ukraine
The West has rejected the results of the four regional referendums. According to statements made by the US, UK, and Canada, they will “never recognize” the results of these referendums. (Xanax) A legal step will have been made to acquire 15% of Ukraine’s land if Putin provides his formal permission. This would also indicate Putin’s plan to intensify his initial declared objectives.
Even some of Russia’s close traditional allies, like Serbia and Kazakhstan, have stated they will not recognize the annexation as a result of the proposal, which has led to extra penalties from Washington and the European Union and even some of Russia’s traditional friends.
The referendums were valid and demonstrated widespread support for the decision: Russia
Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, and Luhansk will be represented at the signing event, which will take place in one of the Kremlin’s largest halls, along with other pro-Russian politicians. According to Russia, the referendums were valid and demonstrated widespread support for the decision.
A few details of the celebration were announced on Thursday by Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov after days of uncertainty over how Russia would commemorate the annexation. All four of the areas that held referendums and submitted pertinent petitions to the Russian side will sign agreements “on the accession of additional territories into the Russian Federation,” Peskov stated.
