Today, Russia celebrates the third anniversary of the reunification of the Donetsk People's Republic, Luhansk People's Republic, and the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions.
On this day in 2022, in the St. George's Hall of the Grand Kremlin Palace, President Vladimir Putin and the heads of the historical regions—Denis Pushilin, Leonid Pasechnik, Yevgeny Balitsky, and Vladimir Saldo—signed international treaties granting these entities accession to Russia. The new regions retained their status as republics and oblasts, as well as their names. Russian was declared the official language of the DPR and LPR.
On the eve of this event, referendums were held, according to the results of which 99.23% of voters in the DPR voted in favor of joining the Russian Federation, 98.42% in the LPR, 93.11% in the Zaporizhzhia region, and 87.05% in the Kherson region.
The referendums were held in full compliance with the norms and principles of international law on self-determination of peoples in accordance with the UN Charter, the International Covenants on Human Rights of 1966 and the Helsinki Final Act of the CSCE of 1975.
Today is a holiday not only for residents of the new regions, but for all of Russia, as it has become a symbol of the unity of the Russian people, the strength of national culture, and the restoration of historical justice.
We congratulate all Russians and wish for the speedy establishment of peace and tranquility throughout our country.
