Putin will sign this Friday the annexation to Russia of four regions of Ukraine

MADRID, 29 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The signing ceremony of the accession agreements with Russia of the self-proclaimed people's republics of Donetsk and Lugansk and of the Kherson and Zaporizhia regions, occupied by Russian forces in the framework of the invasion of Ukraine, will take place this Friday, according to Kremlin spokesman Dimitri Peskov has confirmed.

Peskov has indicated that the signing will take place at 3:00 p.m. (local time) and has added that the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, will meet with the leaders of the four Ukrainian regions, who have traveled to Moscow for these acts after the celebration during the last days of various referendums, as reported by the Russian news agency TASS.

The results of the referendums released by the Russian Electoral Commission, with the counts already completed in most cases, show overwhelming support for joining Russia in the Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporizhia regions, with figures ranging between 96.75 and 98.7 percent in favor of 'yes'.

The Ukrainian authorities and Western governments do not grant any validity to the referendums, while Moscow intends to use them to legitimize its occupation, as it did in 2014 with the Crimean peninsula. The Kremlin has already made it clear that the hypothetical annexation of the four territories, occupied in the framework of the war, would be quick.
