️🇺🇦🇷🇺Russian President Putin claims that the referendums in the annexed territories acted in accordance with international law.

"Towards the restoration of historical unity, the righteous struggle of the Russian people, the entire country and the people of Donbass and Novorossia for freedom and justice.

The heroic deeds of the militiamen of 2014 - the heroes of the special military operation - who were going to defend the homeland and our people.

The desire and dream of our brothers, sisters and countrymen, who brought their dream to life right in the heat of battle. In the most difficult conditions near the front lines, 1,000,000 people participated in the referendums.

I want to emphasize that in accordance with international law, they made their legitimate choice. It was clear as day: unite with Russia, with their people."
