“In order to vote, the inhabitants of Ukraine went first by bus to Turkey, then by plane to Russia, and from Russia to the liberated regions.

These people traveled thousands of kilometers for several days, ”the Aydınlık newspaper quotes him as saying.

Rogov was not surprised that many citizens there took part in the voting.

According to him, the result of the referendum is a clear manifestation of the common will of the inhabitants of Donbass, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions.

On September 30, Putin and the heads of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions signed agreements on the accession of these regions to Russia.

As reported in the agreements submitted to the State Duma, the republics of Donbass, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions will become subjects of the federation within the borders that existed on the day they were accepted into Russia.
