The Russian-installed puppet government in the Ukrainian city of Kherson said Wednesday that it would be asking Russian President Vladimir Putin to annex the Kherson oblast.
Kirill Stremousov, deputy head of the Kremlin’s occupation authority in the city, made the announcement in response to speculation among Ukrainian authorities that the puppet-government would hold a “referendum” attempting to declare the oblast — of which Kherson is the regional capital — independent.
Such dubiously democratic referenda were passed at the behest of Russian-backed separatists in the Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts in 2014 during Moscow’s annexation of Crimea.
