Kherson and Zaporizhzhia declared by Putin as “autonomous territories”

The regions of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia in Ukraine have been proclaimed as “autonomous territories” by Russian president Vladimir Putin.

The orders were released by the Russian propaganda news outlet RIA-Novosti.

Putin utilizes “universally recognized principles and norms of international law”  included in the UN charter to support his aggressive acts.

On September 29, Putin’s orders officially recognizing the “independence” of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions take effect.
