Putin signs accession of 4 Ukrainian regions
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed on Friday treaties on the official accession of four Ukrainian regions, the Luhansk and Donetsk People's Republics, alongside Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, to Russia.
"This is a battlefield for a greater historical Russia," Putin said during his speech at the signing ceremony. The head of Russia underlined that the collapse of Western hegemony that has begun is "irreversible" now.
Furthermore, Putin noted that Moscow will continue to fight "for a just and free path" and will not allow for a "criminal suppression of other cultures and peoples."
