2022 annexation referendums in Russian-occupied Ukraine
The votes were conducted in four areas of Ukraine – the Russian puppet states of the Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic in the Russian-occupied Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts of Ukraine, as well as the Russian-appointed military administrations of Kherson Oblast and Zaporizhzhia Oblast. Russia does not fully control any of the four regions. The referendums were illegal under international law and have been condemned by the United Nations.
