War in Ukraine – Kremlin: Kherson’s status as “part of Russia” does not change

It will take at least a week for the Russian forces to withdraw from Kherson. However, the withdrawal of of Russian forces from Kherson will not change the regime in the region, which Moscow has declared a part of Russia after proceeding with its annexation by Ukraine the Kremlin assured today. THE Russia claimed Kherson and three other Ukrainian regions after holding what it described as referendums in September — a process that Kyiv and Western governments have denounced as illegal and coercive. But on Wednesday, in a major setback, it announced that its forces would withdraw from the city of Kherson in the face of a major counterattack from Ukraine.

In a teleconference with journalists, his representative Kremlin Dmitry Peskov stated that the status of the region is “set and definite” and that no changes are possible. “It’s a matter of hers Russian Federation – is legally specific and determined. There are no changes and there can be no changes,” said Peskov. He said that Moscow has no regrets for announcing the annexation of Kherson and three other regions at a triumphant event in Moscow on September 30.

Asked why the Russian president will not participate in the G20 summit in Bali, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said it was related to Putin’s program and the need to remain in Russia.
