Borders of Russian-annexed occupied territories are announced | Ukrainska Pravda

According to the agreements submitted to the State Duma of the Russian Federation, the borders of the so-called DPR and LPR and Zaporizhzhia and Kherson Oblasts, which the Russian Federation has supposedly taken over, will be defined as the borders that existed "on the day of their formation and admission as part of Russia".

Quote from the "document": "The borders of the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic shall be defined as the borders of the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic that existed on the day of its formation and the day of its admission to the Russian Federation and formation as a new subject within the Russian Federation.

Details: The agreements with the so-called LPR and Zaporizhzhia and Kherson oblasts contain the same wording.

What is meant by such wording is currently not clear.

Volodymyr Rohov, the representative of the occupation administration of Zaporizhzhia Oblast, commenting on this definition in the "agreement", noted that "Zaporizhzhia Oblast as an administrative unit in the territory of the Ukrainian SSR was separated on 10 January 1939 from the southeastern part of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast with the administrative centre in the city of Zaporizhzhia.

It remains to liberate the quarter of the oblast that is temporarily occupied by the Anglo-Saxons," he said.

Interfax reported that draft laws on the ratification of the agreements were submitted to the State Duma for ratification on Sunday.

At the same time, according to the "agreements", the borders of the so-called DPR, LPR, and Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts bordering the territory of a "foreign state" are the state borders of the Russian Federation.

The "agreements" specify that the state language in the captured and annexed territories shall be Russian. That said, the Russian Federation supposedly guarantees all peoples living on the territory of the "new subjects" the right to preserve their native language and create conditions for its study and development.
