Right on time.
Only Moscow thinks it’s annexed. No other nation does.
Well, in all fairness, Lughansk and Donetsk provinces are filled with ethnic Russians. They did vote in 2014 for their Independence from Ukraine, Ukraine replied by shelling and bombing them for eight years.
Since Vlad has now liberated them, the shelling and bombing by the Ukies has stopped, primarily because the Ukies shelled them from the city of Avidivka….
We all know what happened to Avidiivka, a Ukie rout. There were many celebrations.
I doubt Moscow cares what every other nation thinks. Moscow occupies the Donbas. No other nation does.
