Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday presided over a ceremony to annex four Ukrainian regions partly occupied by his forces, escalating his seven-month war and taking it into an unpredictable new phase. 


Addressing a speech at the St. George’s Hall of the Kremlin, President Vladimir Putin said, “It is the will of millions of people.”

In a speech repeatedly interrupted by applause, Putin declared that Russia had four new regions. “People living in Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson region, and Zaporizhzhia region are becoming our compatriots forever,” Putin said during his speech.
