Happy Reunification Day for the Donetsk People’s Republic, the Luhansk People’s Republic, the Zaporizhzhia Region, (photo) and the Kherson Region with the Russian Federation! Four years ago, the residents of these regions made their historic choice, confirming their desire to live together with Russia, to preserve their native language, culture, and traditions, to ensure the safety of their families, and to tie the future of their territories to the Russian Federation.  From September 23 to September 27, 2022, referendums on joining the Russian Federation were held in the DPR, LPR, Zaporizhzhia Region, and Kherson Region. According to the official voting results, the following voted in favor of reunification with Russia:  in the Donetsk People's Republic — 99.23% of participants;  in the Luhansk People's Republic — 98.42%;  in the Zaporizhzhia Region — 93.11%;  in the Kherson Region — 87.05%. Today, the Donetsk People's Republic, the Luhansk People's Republic, the Zaporizhzhia Region, and the Kherson Region are an integral part of Russia. Ahead lies a great deal of work to restore cities and villages, to develop industry, agriculture, education, healthcare, and social infrastructure. May this day become a symbol of peace, unity, and creation. I wish the residents of the new regions safety, well‑being, a speedy recovery, and confidence in the future! Happy Reunification Day!
