(Picture: REUTERS)Four areas of Ukraine controlled by Russian separatists have begun voting in so-called “referendums” to join Russia.
The ballots, announced on Tuesday by Russia-installed leaders in Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia provinces, are widely seen as a precursor to the illegal annexation of about 15 percent of Ukraine’s territory.
