Voting in four Russian-held regions as Ukraine attempts to wrest seized land
Referendum ploy to annex territory

MOSCOW-HELD regions of Ukraine will vote in the coming days on annexation by Russia, separatist officials said Tuesday, as Kyiv's troops wrest back territory captured by Moscow's forces.

Separatist authorities in the eastern Donetsk and Lugansk regions, as well as in the southern Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, said they would hold the vote over five days beginning Friday this week and ending on Tuesday.

The regions are on the frontlines of a sweeping Ukrainian counteroffensive that has seen Kyiv's forces retake hundreds of towns and villages that had been controlled by Russia for months. Their integration into Russia would represent a major escalation of the conflict as Moscow could try to say it was defending its own territory from Ukrainian forces.
