The leaders of Zaporozhye and Kherson regions as well as the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR) have arrived in Moscow "to make a historic decision," announced Kirill Stremousov, the deputy head of the Kherson administration.

"A historic plane with the leaders of the liberated territories landed in Moscow. This, of course, is already history, but with a happy end. The Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, the Donetsk and Lugansk People' Republics have gathered in Moscow to make a historic decision. Very soon we will become new constituent members of the Russian Federation," Stremousov wrote.

After receiving the regions' requests to join the Russian Federation, the Russian President must inform the parliament and the government, which will carry out a legal procession. 

On Tuesday, the results of the referenda on the accession of the Lugansk People's Republic (LPR), Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), as well as the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions to the country, were released by Moscow.

The head of the regional electoral committee Galina Katyushchenko, declared that 93.11% of voters supported reunification with Russia, as 100% of ballots have been counted in the Zaporozhye Region.
