The head of Crimea Sergey Aksenov said that the Ukrainian Kherson and Zaporozhye regions will become part of Russia, as well as Crimea.
“I see for sure: our future is together within the borders of one state…”quot; – said Aksenov on the Crimean television.
At the same time, he did not discuss how such a territorial arrangement should be implemented from a legal point of view.
“I know one thing: that the president of Russia will not leave people without help,” Aksenov added. – Our president has indicated that we are one people”.
A week ago, the military-civil administration of the Kherson region, which manages the region after its transition to the control of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, said that by the end of the year they would prepare a legal basis for appealing to Vladimir Putin with a request to join Russia. A little earlier, a number of media outlets wrote that the region could become the “Kherson People’srepublic” by analogy with the DPR and the LPR – in the latter, they simultaneously announced the possibility of holding a referendum by analogy with the Crimean one.
At the same time, the new authorities of Kherson declared that they would not carry out the people’s will, “because it is absolutely not important anymore” and that the international community does not recognize him anyway.
