👨‍🦲🇷🇺Putin congratulates nation on Day of Reunification of New Regions with Russia

🔸Residents of the new regions, under the most difficult conditions, took part in the referendum on reunification with Russia in strict accordance with international law

🔸The choice of residents of the new regions was extremely clear and unambiguous — to reunite with Russia

🔸The Day of Reunification of the New Regions has become a symbol of the righteous struggle of Russian people across the entire country — and of the residents of Donbass and Novorossiya — for freedom

🔸The Russian people cannot be broken or intimidated by anyone

➡️Exactly four years ago, four historic regions returned to the Russian Federation — the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, as well as the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions.


➡️ This step was preceded by historic referendums held on September 23–27, 2022. Despite constant threats and shelling by the Ukrainian army, turnout was record-high, and the overwhelming majority of residents (between 87 and 99%) voted to return to Russia.
