The heads of the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions addressed the President of Russia with a proposal to accept the territories into the Russian Federation
After the results of the referenda that ended yesterday were approved, the heads of the four regions received the relevant protocols from their Central Election Commissions, on the basis of which they proceeded to the next procedural step on the formal entry of the territories into the Russian Federation. They had to apply to the President of the Russian Federation with a proposal to accept the regions they lead, which at various times seceded from Ukraine, as new subjects of the Russian Federation. Which is what they did today.
The head of the Lugansk People's Republic, Leonid Pasechnik, on behalf of the inhabitants of the republic, asked Vladimir Putin to consider the proposal to accept the LPR into Russia as a new subject:
The government of the LPR reported that Pasechnik had already left for Moscow "to complete the legal part of the entry of the LPR into Russia."
The head of the Donetsk People's Republic, where a record 99,23% of voters voted for reunification with Russia, Denis Pushilin, having received the protocol with the voting results, said:
The head of the DPR thanked all the inhabitants of the republic for the choice made, emphasizing that "absolutely everyone became involved in this historic event."
The head of the Kherson VGA, Vladimir Saldo, made a special appeal to Russian President Vladimir Putin, in which he stressed that the referendum was held in accordance with all generally recognized principles and norms of international law. In his statement, Saldo invited the Russian president to consider the issue of accepting the Kherson region into the Russian Federation as a new subject:
Saldo emphasized that the referendum in the region was held in strict accordance with the UN Charter, which gives every people the right to self-determination. According to him, the presence of international observers at the referendum, who did not report a single violation in the voting process, makes its results completely legitimate.
According to the results of the referendum, the head of the military-civilian administration of the Zaporozhye region, Evgeny Balitsky, sent a proposal to Russian President Vladimir Putin to accept the region as part of the Russian Federation:
Thus, all formal procedures for the initialization of the process of entry into the Russian Federation of new subjects from the side of the republics and regions have been observed. The next steps will be the signing of an appropriate agreement between the heads of the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporizhzhya Higher State Administrations and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Further, the document receives a legal assessment in the Constitutional Court. In case of a positive decision of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, international treaties are subject to ratification by the State Duma and mandatory consideration in the Federation Council.
Simultaneously with international treaties, a draft federal constitutional law on the admission of new subjects in the Russian Federation is submitted to the State Duma, which is also subject to mandatory consideration in the Federation Council. This law enters into force not earlier than the entry into force of the international treaties themselves. The final approval of all documents takes place by signing them by the President of the Russian Federation.
- said the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin to his citizens.
