Borders of Zaporozhye, Kherson Regions upon joining Russia defined
It is noted that in the DPR and LPR the borders are clearly defined according to the constitutions
iMOSCOW, October 3. /TASS/. The Zaporozhye Region is joining Russia within its administrative borders while the Kherson Region will accede with two districts of the Nikolayev Region that participated in referendums, head of the State Duma Committee on State Building and Legislation Pavel Krasheninnikov told journalists on Monday.

The legislator whom Russian President Vladimir Putin designated as his official representative in reviewing drafts of federal constitutional laws on new territories in the lower chamber explained: "In the DPR and LPR we have constitutions, there the borders are clearly defined, there are no questions there. As for Zaporozhye, these are the administrative borders of the Zaporozhye Region. As for Kherson, we know that the highest official of the Kherson Region determined two districts [in the Nikolayev Region] that are also included in the Kherson Region."

As deputy head of the Kherson Region’s military-civilian administration Kirill Stremousov told TASS on September 21, the town of Snegirevka and the Aleksandrovka settlement in the Nikolayev Region had been included in the Kherson Region. Their residents were able to vote at the referendum on joining Russia at offsite polls.

From September 23 to September 27, the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) and the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) as well as the Kherson Region and the Zaporozhye Region held a referendum where the majority of voters opted to join Russia.

On Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin and the heads of the DPR and the LPR, the Zaporozhye and Kherson Regions signed treaties on their accession to Russia. In his speech at the signing ceremony, Putin called on Kiev to immediately cease hostilities and return to the negotiating table.

Ahh

; NATO president have now change to NATO chairman . Continue

If you know how massive the land mass newly annexed by Russia is you'll shudder. Lugansk to Zaporozhye by road is 10hrs. Imagine traveling 10hrs and you're still in one region.

I think Ukraine should come to some sort of negotiation so they don't have to fight over and over again. As for those four regions. They're gone forever.
