Original Note:
The regions—Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia—are internationally recognized as Ukrainian. Only North Korea and Syria see the Russian annexation as legitimate. Referring to these as contested misleads readers into thinking there is a legitimate sovereignty dispute. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_annexation_of_Donetsk,_Kherson,_Luhansk_and_Zaporizhzhia_oblasts https://www.reuters.com/world/putin-declare-annexation-ukrainian-lands-major-escalation-war-2022-09-29/
