Occupied parts of Ukraine’s Mykolaiv region will be incorporated into the neighbouring Kherson region.
The Russian-installed administration has announced this in Kherson, the Russian state news agency TASS reported.
The decision would mean that residents of Mykolaiv will also vote in a referendum on joining Russia next week.
The plebiscite will be held between September 23 and 27 at the same time, and referendums on the same subject are also being held in occupied parts of the Donetsk, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhya regions. All four were announced Tuesday.
