A close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, former President Dmitry Medvedev, said that folding the separatist Luhansk and Donetsk regions of eastern Ukraine into Russia itself would make their redrawn frontiers “irreversible” and enable Moscow to use “any means” to defend them. Such votes would almost certainly go Moscow’s way. The succession of appeals and Medvedev’s backing for them suggested stiffening determination in the Kremlin to fend off further territorial gains by Ukraine.
“After they are held and the new territories are taken into Russia’s fold, a geopolitical transformation of the world will become irreversible,” said Medvedev, who also served as Russia’s president from 2008-2012.
