Deputy Speaker of the State Duma Pyotr Tolstoy (United Russia) believes that the Russian Federation should annex four Ukrainian regions – Odessa, Nikolaev, Dnepropetrovsk and Kharkov regions. He explained this by saying that “Russian people live on these lands.”
“Russia must return the rest of its lands: Odessa, Nikolaev, Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkov regions – all the lands where our Russian people live, who were betrayed and abandoned 30 years ago, having invented an independent Ukraine, not caring about the interests of the inhabitants of these regions,” wrote Mr. Tolstoy in Telegram.
Russia sent troops to Ukraine on February 24, 2022. During the military operation, the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions were annexed to the Russian Federation. Parts of these regions are not controlled by Russian troops, including the cities of Kherson and Zaporozhye.
