Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged Friday to condemn the “fake referendums” that Russia has begun organizing to annex areas it controls in Ukraine.
In his daily address to the nation, Zelensky said, “The world will react absolutely justly to phony referendums – they will be categorically condemned.”
Four provinces in Ukraine controlled in whole or in part by Russian forces, Donetsk and Luhansk in the east and Kherson and Zaporizhia in the south, are voting on their annexation to Russia.
Kyiv and its Western allies condemned the referendum as “sham”.
