MOSCOW, Dec 11, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - Presidential elections in Russia that are 
likely to see Vladimir Putin re-elected will be held in four Ukrainian 
regions that the Kremlin claimed to have annexed last year, Moscow said 
Monday.

The Central Elections Commission, according to Russian news agencies, said 
voting in March would go ahead in Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson 
-- regions that Russia claimed to have annexed in 2022, despite not having 
full military control over them.
