1hr until Putin formalizes the illegal annexation of four Ukrainian regions.

We will provide live updates & translations on the event & his speech.

Nothing that is said or written today will change the fact that Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk & Zaporizhzhia belong to 🇺🇦.

#Ukraine
The Russian imposed heads of the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions have arrived at the Kremlin for today's annexation ceremony.

Despite their smiles, none of these men fully control their respective regions, with Ukrainian counter operations reclaiming more land each day.
Russian officials are now gathered in the main hall, awaiting Putin's speech.

Amongst them, the four heads of the regions to be annexed and Ramzan Kadyrov.

A joint event is considered unusual by Russia watchers.

Igor Girkin, a former 🇷🇺intelligence colonel & commander of separatist forces in 🇺🇦, will be offering his analysis of Putin & Shoigu's speeches on state TV.

Until now, Girkin was not allowed to feature on state media. His inclusion demonstrates a radical shift in 🇷🇺's narrative.
