The votes in the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions all partly under Russia’s control following its full-scale invasion of Ukraine last year were denounced by Kyiv as illegal. Russia said a year ago that it was annexing the four regions, in an act condemned as unlawful by most countries at the United Nations. President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that elections conducted this month in Russian-held parts of Ukraine marked a step towards their full integration into Russia. Do you support the move ?
