New regions may join Russia, Medvedev says
"This is quite possible," Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman said | Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev has not ruled out the emergence of new regions in Russia. ● "Actually, this experience (of Donbass and Novorossiya’s integration - TASS) may be useful in the future as well, if new but very close-by regions appear in our country soon. This is quite possible," he said at the 22nd United Russia party congress. ● The Donetsk and Lugansk People’s republics, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions became part of Russia following referendums held there September 23-27, 2022. Crimea and Sevastopol returned to Russia following the March 2014 referendum held amid the coup in Ukraine.
