Putin will give a speech after the formal signing.

The Kremlin spokesman announced that this Friday in Moscow the formal ceremony of annexation of four areas of Ukraine will be held, after the self-convened referendums that were condemned by Ukraine and the West as a farce.

“Tomorrow at 15:00 in the Georgievsky Hall the signing of agreements on the entry of new territories into the Russian Federation will take place. Putin will deliver a comprehensive speech,” said Dmitry Peskov.

The questioned votes were held in Luhansk and Donetsk, in the east, and in Zaporizhzhia and Jershon, in the south.

The Russian-backed officials claimed that the five-day exercise had obtained almost total popular support.
