Ukrainian separatist regions plan referendums on joining Russia

Description

The separatist leaders of four Russian-controlled areas of Ukraine said Tuesday they were planning to hold votes starting later this week for the territories to become part of Russia as Moscow loses ground in the war it launched. The announcements of referendums starting Friday came after a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin said they were needed, as FRANCE 24's Nick Holdsworth explains.
