Is Vladimir Putin annexing Ukraine? Russian President Vladimir Putin is expected to announce he has annexed parts of Ukraine after taking a vote in which he claimed citizens wanted to become part of Russia. According to Russian election officials, 93 percent of the ballots in the Zaporizhzhia region supported annexation, 87 percent were in support in the Kherson region, 98 percent in the Luhansk region, and 99 percent in Donetsk. Armed Russian military members began taking votes on September 23, often going door-to-door. The vote has been declared illegitimate by the US and NATO allies, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told the UN Security Council that "any annexation in the modern world is a crime, a crime against all states that consider the inviolability of border to be vital for themselves." Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boychenko fled Ukraine when Russia invaded and said the results weren't accurate because only 20 percent of the 100k residents in Donetsk had voted. In a news conference, Boychenko said: "A man toting an assault rifle comes to your home and asks you to vote, so what can people do?" The UN Security Council met on September 27 in New York and ABC News reported the US and Albania plan to introduce a resolution stating the Kremlin's results won't be accepted. They are reported to say the four regions will remain as part of Ukraine, but Russia is expected to veto the resolution.

Putin denounced NATO and the West, creating a chasm that has continued for 30 years. "They cheated us again and again, made decisions behind our back, presenting us with completed facts," he said at the time. "That's the way it was with the expansion of NATO in the East, with the deployment of military infrastructure at our borders. They always told us the same thing: 'Well, this doesn't involve you.'... Similarly to the current climate in Ukraine, the Russian military was sent to Crimea to take a vote from the citizens. According to The New York Times, 97 percent of the region allegedly voted in favor of seceding from Ukraine. Ukrainian officials had said they would never accept Crimea's annexation, and in response to an uprising in Ukraine, Putin called them "Russophobes and neo-Nazis,... something he used as his reasoning for invading Ukraine in March 2022. Putin claimed at the time that he did not want to annex other areas of Ukraine, saying in a televised speech: ...Don't believe those who say Russia will take other regions after Crimea. We don't need that.... He claimed to ...sympathize... with Ukraine and said: ...We're one nation. Kyiv is the mother of all Russian cities." Samuel Charap, a senior fellow for Russia and Eurasia at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in Washington, DC told The Washington Post said he was concerned over Putin's sense of betrayal of the West. ...The question is: Do they believe it or not?... he said.
