“In Kherson and Juborgy, we will continue to consult with the population” on the border, Peskov said. Asked whether the areas of these areas under the control of Kyiv are considered Russian by the Kremlin, the spokesman replied: “I have nothing to add now.”

When asked how the border residents will be consulted, Peskov said he could not answer but everything would depend on the will of the residents of the regions. Even the new territorial annexation law that Russian President Vladimir Putin will sign will not clarify the boundaries: Peskov said he believes that “the wording will remain the same.”

On the same day, the State Duma unanimously approved the annexations. But he did it with four “strange” sounds.
