Politics and elections

2022 annexation referendums in Russian-occupied Ukraine
- The Russian-installed heads of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson Oblasts' occupation administrations, as well as that of the breakaway Luhansk People's Republic, officially request that they be annexed to Russia, following a referendum, widely seen as fraudulent, conducted in these regions of Ukraine. The only other Ukrainian region taking part in this unrecognized referendum, the breakaway Donetsk People's Republic has not yet made its official request to join Russia though Denis Pushilin, the head of the unrecognized state, will likely follow the other heads and request it very soon as the official results of this illegal referendum claims that the vast majority of voters from the four regions voted to join Russia.
