Original Note:
The regions Russia is referring to (Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, & Zaporizhzhia) are internationally recognized as Ukrainian. Only North Korea & Syria see Russian annexation of these regions as legitimate. https://news.un.org/en/story/2023/02/1133847 Russia has never had full militarily control over these regions. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/sep/30/putin-russia-war-annexes-ukraine-regions
