Despite the plans of the Russian Federation to hold pseudo-referendums on the annexation of the occupied Ukrainian territories, Ukraine will continue to release them. This was announced by the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dmytro Kuleba, on Tuesday.

 "Fictive "referendums" will not change anything. Neither will any hybrid "mobilization". Russia was and remains an aggressor that illegally occupies a part of Ukrainian land," the minister said on his Twitter.

 He added that Ukraine has every right to liberate its territories and will continue to liberate them, "no matter what Russia says."
