“Today, I signed a decree on conducting a referendum regarding the territorial affiliation of the Zaporizhzhia region. It will take place from 23 to 27 September,” Balytskyi said.

He added that he had also signed a decree on forming “volunteer battalions” of the Zaporizhzhia region.

Earlier today, the “public movement ‘Together with Russia’” asked Balytskyi to conduct a referendum on joining the Russian Federation “as soon as possible”.

The Donetsk and Luhansk “people’s republics” and the Kherson region made similar statements about holding referendums on the same dates.
