“Zaporozhye region is forever lost to Ukraine, just as Ukraine is lost forever to the current Kyiv regime.
Now for the Zaporozhye region, the main thing is that it has been found by Russia forever and will become its integral part, ”Rogov told RIA Novosti.
According to him, preparations for the referendum are underway, and they will not delay its holding.
Earlier, the authorities of the Zaporozhye region admitted that a referendum on the region's entry into Russia would be held in September.
