Russian President Vladimir Putin recently announced that Russia is annexing four regions of Ukraine.
About:
The four regions being annexed are Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine and Kherson and Zaporizhzhia in southern Ukraine.
The separatist Donetsk and Luhansk regions in eastern Ukraine have been backed by Moscow since declaring independence in 2014, weeks after the annexation of Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula.
The southern Kherson region and part of the neighboring Zaporizhzhia were captured by Russia soon after Putin sent troops into Ukraine on February 24, 2022.
Together with Crimea that Russia annexed in 2014, Russia now claims 20% of Ukrainian territory.
The four territories create a crucial land corridor between Russia and the Crimean peninsula, annexed by Moscow in 2014.
