Of Ukraine In the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions Russia Authorities appointed by the government have begun preparations for a referendum on the annexation of these territories to Russia.
Not long ago in these provinces Russia First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration Sergey Kiriyenko trip had done.
At present, at least the Kherson region is planned to be annexed to Russia, as in Crimea.
However, Kiriyenko himself did not make any statement about it.
After Russia’s unwarranted and unjustified intervention in Ukraine, a large part of the Kherson region, including the city of Kherson, is now under Russian occupation.
Although a significant part of the Zaporozhye region is under occupation, the city of Zaporozhye itself Ukrainian Armed Forces controls.
“Talks” with Kiriyenko
On June 7, Kiriyenko first visited Kherson and then Melitopol in Zaporozhye.
In Kherson, the Russian occupation administration has repeatedly stated that the region will be annexed by Russia.
A member of the Russian State Duma spoke about his conversation with Kiriyenko on June 7 Igor Kostyukevich He said that the annexation of Kherson region to Russia will be carried out by the same mechanism as the unification of Crimea.
The Bell website draws attention to the fact that Russian state agencies provided this information in the form of a quote from Kastyukovich, not a quote from Kiriyenko.
The Bell generally does not believe that these words refer to Kiriyenko.
Appointed leader of Melitopol by Russia Galina Danilchenko He said Russia will remain in the region forever.
“Now we are preparing for the referendum,” he said.
Crimea is also occupied
Appointed head of the Zaporozhye region by Moscow Vladimir Roqov He said that a “decisive decision” had been made in the region to hold a referendum on joining Russia.
This information was spread by the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti.
Following the referendums in Crimea and Simferopol in 2014, the Crimean peninsula was annexed by Russia.
