New Delhi: Russia has said that it will formally annex four more parts of Ukraine. This comes just days after Russia has officially concluded the referendums, which yet remains unrecognized by the West.

As a result of recent military defeats in Kharkiv, in northern Ukraine, the unusually large margins in favor were generally perceived as an attempt by an increasingly trapped Russian leadership to seize territory.
