Russian parliament ‘may debate annexation of occupied Ukraine on Thursday’

Russia’s lower house of parliament, known as the Duma, may debate bills incorporating Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine into Russia on Thursday, according to the state-run TASS news agency, citing an unnamed source.

Yesterday, Moscow launched referendums in the eastern Luhansk and Donetsk regions and Kherson and Zaporizhzhia in the south on joining Russia. The voting is set to end on Tuesday.

The move has been condemnation by Kyiv and Western nations, who dismissed the votes as a sham and pledged not to recognise their results.

President Putin said Moscow will heed the residents’ will – a clear indication the Kremlin is poised to quickly annex the regions once the voting is over.
