Moscow Claims 4 Ukrainian Regions: Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson & Zaporizhzhia Will Be Part of Russia

TRIBUN-VIDEO.COM - Russian state news agency RIA reports, four Ukrainan regions will become part of Russia. The report quoted a statement from the General Council of the United Russia Party General, Andriy Turchak. The four regions include Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. RIA Novosti reported on Wednesday (1/6/2022), Turchak said the decision had been taken by the citizens of Kherson. Therefore, he had no doubt that the territory would become part of the Russian Federation. Turchak also added that he has no doubt the same will happen to Donetsk, Luhansk, and Zaporizhia. "The decision has to be made by the citizens themselves, and I'm sure they will accept it. Therefore, I have no doubt that this region will become part of the Russian Federation," said Andrey Turchak. He said these people wanted protection and stability. Turchak added that plans for a referendum are underway in each region. "People want protection, stability, so that after eight years of the Bandera terror legalized by the West, the long-awaited and lasting peace has come," he added. Western analysts have previously warned that Russia may stage sham referendums in these territories.  The US State Department’s spokesperson earlier said Washington was concerned about "steps Russia is taking to attempt to institutionalise control over sovereign Ukrainian territory, particularly in Ukraine’s Kherson region". Kherson has asked Russia to annex it. They want to join the Russian Federation.(tribun-video.com) This article was published on RIA.ru under the title "Турчак заявил, что Херсонская область, ЛНР и ДНР войдут в состав России" https://ria.ru/20220601/rossiya-17922...
