The State Duma, the lower house of the Federal Assembly of Russia, ratified agreements on the admission of four new subjects to the Russian Federation: the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions of Ukraine. From 23 to 27 September, residents of the self-proclaimed Luhansk and Donetsk People's Republics as well as the Russian-controlled areas of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions of Ukraine voted in a so-called 'referendum' to join the Russian Federation. Putin held a signing ceremony to annex the four areas last week. EPA/RUSSIAN STATE DUMA PRESS SERVICE HANDOUT HANDOUT EDITORIAL USE ONLY/NO SALES
