Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday signed treaties to annex four Moscow-occupied Ukrainian regions -- Donetsk, Kherson, Lugansk and Zaporizhzhia -- at a grand ceremony in the Kremlin. FRANCE 24's Gulliver Cragg reports from Kyiv, Ukraine.
Here's our latest round-up of key developments in the Ukraine war.
Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary Seneral, rejects Putin's "land grab" and denounces Russia's "illegitimate" annexation of four Ukrainian regions. Stoltenberg's comments come on the day that the Moscow-installed leaders of the occupied regions of Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Luhansk and Donetsk signed an annexation accord with Putin at the Kremlin.
In an interview with FRANCE 24 from Kyiv, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba struck a defiant tone, saying that the annexation this Friday by Russia of four Ukrainian regions following so-called referendums changed "nothing" for Ukraine and the world. The top Ukrainian diplomat said that the annexations and the recent partial mobilisation in Russia were a "sign of weakness" of the Russian leader, but added that "many Russians will die simply because Putin can’t recognise that he is losing this war".
