A large part of Ukraine seeks to reunite with Russia and has already done so, as the situation on the battlefield demonstrates.

Axar.az reports that this statement was made by Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov in response to US President Donald Trump’s remarks about the possibility of Ukraine becoming part of Russia one day.

"The fact that a large part of Ukraine wants to become Russia or has already joined it is obvious. This is a fact that has materialized on the ground: Russia now has four new regions. People who, despite many dangers, were queuing to vote in a referendum on joining Russia - this in many ways corresponds to the words of [US] President [Donald] Trump," Peskov pointed out.
