Russia declares Ukrainian territory as their own following sham referendums

Russia has declared Ukrainian territory as their own following sham referendums. The four provinces are Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson.

Russian President Vladimir Putin made it official by signing treaties today to annex the Ukrainian territories.

Putin said Russia would protect the regions by “all available means.”

Many countries have rejected the annexations and will refuse to accept the land as Russian.

Ukraine has vowed to continue to fight.
