Occupied Ukrainian regions to ask Putin to annex them

The Hindu  

Russian-installed officials in occupied regions of Ukraine said on September 28 that they would ask President Vladimir Putin to incorporate them into Russia, a day after claiming that their residents overwhelmingly supported such a move in Kremlin-orchestrated votes widely viewed as illegitimate. The referendums asking residents whether they wanted the four occupied southern and eastern Ukraine regions to be incorporated into Russia began September 23, often with armed officials going door-to-door collecting votes. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, speaking by video link Tuesday to the U.N. Security Council, said that “any annexation in the modern world is a crime, a crime against all states that consider the inviolability of border to be vital for themselves.” Separatist officials in the Donetsk region, large swaths of which still remain under Ukrainian control, are also expected to follow suit. In the eastern Ukrainian region of Donetsk, which is partially occupied by Moscow, Russian fire killed five people and wounded 10 others over the past 24 hours, said Donetsk governor Pavlo Kyrylenko.
