Russia’s State Duma approves accession of four Ukrainian regions

Russia’s lower house of parliament has unanimously approved laws on the accession of four eastern Ukrainian regions to Russia, following referendums that overwhelmingly favored the integration of the areas into the Russian Federation.

Members of the State Duma voted on Monday to incorporate Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, with no abstentions or votes against.

"The decision was taken unanimously. There are 89 entities in the Russian Federation," parliament speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said in a post on his Telegram, along with a map of Russia including the four regions, as well as Crimea, which joined Russia in 2014.

Speaking shortly after the votes, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov congratulated representatives from the four regions and said he was confident the upper house — the Federation Council — would also approve the accession on Tuesday.
