Moscow is proud to have accepted four former Ukrainian regions into Russia, President Vladimir Putin has said.<\/p>\n

The Donbass republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, as well as the regions of Kherson and Zaporozhye, voted to secede from Ukraine and join Russia in referendums held in September 2022.<\/p>\n

He added that Russia was “defending its core national interests, shared memory and values, the Russian language, traditions, culture, and faith, and the sacred right to honor the deeds of its ancestors.”<\/em><\/p>\n
