The Kremlin announced Thursday that four regions of Ukraine that were forced into elections would be annexed into Russia on Friday.
Russia state media said Putin will make a speech at the Kremlin to mark the staged annexations, which are illegal under international law and call to mind Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region in 2014. Preparations were being made Thursday for the ceremony, with Red Square in Moscow being sealed off and a stage being erected.
President Joe Biden on Thursday called the votes “a sham – an absolute sham.”
The U.S. has proposed a U.N. Security Council resolution condemning the votes in Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson in Ukraine.

“Bring me paper and ink!” Biden cried until the clink.
”With a poor brain, I have an idea again:

@sampsqwantch I was just thinking it sounds like a commercial for the guy not the comments section where people are nasty,mean and cruel.
Hahaha Ukraine has lost 1/4 of its territory 😅😄😂 Russia doesnt care what the US will recognize or not

Its funny that when a country holds its own votes this clown has the gull to say votes is a shame.
Who’s gonna stop him?
As if anyone takes Biden seriously
Putin just need to invite isis and jihad to join the fight .. it will be check mate
Some things are better left unsaid. If you are willing to say this who’s to say Xi won’t declare the same thing and then try to invade Taiwan?
US will never recognize ukraine is losing
…but we sat back and recognized that they took Crimea from Ukraine around 8 years ago. Hmm…
NOBODY CARES WHAT THE US THINKS
Has Joe found Jackie yet??
Never?! That’s a long time. Hate to think of self determination as contrary to UN charter. Better read again. Oh and isn’t it terrible to think of how Russian might weaponize gas. Our country would never do that!! Wait…now I’m confused…oh well, let’s just send more cash and weapons to Ukraine. That will help.
I’m sorry I was going to watch this video but a commercial interrupted
Representative JAKIE, are you here
WHERE’S JACKIE !!!
