“As for the will of the people who live on the territory of these republics, other territorial units, we will analyze this will very carefully,” RIA Novosti quotes him.
He noted that decisions should be made in accordance with the Constitution of Russia.
“It is impossible to ignore this will, but in order to consider such issues, this will must be formulated,” Medvedev stressed.
Earlier, Kirill Stremousov, deputy head of the military-civilian administration of the Kherson region, said that at least 60-70% of the region's inhabitants would vote for joining Russia when a referendum was held in the region.
The head of the Donetsk People's Republic, Denis Pushilin, said that it would be advisable to hold a referendum on joining Russia in the Donbass only after reaching the constitutional borders of the DPR and LPR.
