As he announces the Kremlin's intention to illegally annex nearly a fifth of Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin says the people who live in these regions 'are becoming our citizens forever'

Putin, however, attempted to claim that the referendums reflected the will of “millions” of people, despite reports from the ground suggesting that voting took place essentially – and in some cases, literally – at gunpoint.
