Lebedev: All southern Ukrainian regions will be annexed to Russia
The south-east of Ukraine occupied by the Russian army will obviously become part of the Russian Federation.
Russian designer and traveler Artemy Lebedev, who visited the DPR and Zaporozhye region the day before, stated this on his video blog, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“There are a lot of billboards with the inscription: “Russia is here forever.” Please remove the residents of Ukraine from the screen, because it may hurt them, but, of course, now the situation has completely changed and, if in February it was still unclear what would happen, now it is absolutely and unequivocally clear - all southern Ukrainian regions will be annexed to Russia in the same way that Crimea was annexed. You can treat this any way you want, discuss it any way you want, but what was once Russia and didn’t exist for thirty years will now become Russia again,” Lebedev said.

He visited the territory of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, which is under the control of the Russian military. According to Lebedev, Zaporozhye, like the Kherson region and Crimea, will become part of a single Tauride province:
“Here at the beginning of the city there are already posters: “220 years of the Tauride province” and a map of the Tauride province is shown, which just shows the south of the Zaporozhye region and Crimea. Thus, we have a bold hint about what awaits us in the near future. The Tauride province will be accepted into the Russian Federation...
This power plant will now work for the economy of the Russian regions, because we have a problem - we do not have enough electricity in Crimea and we have problems with electricity in the Caucasus, which are now powered by the Rostov station. Now Rostov will calmly provide for its Caucasus, and the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant will power Crimea and the LPR and DPR. Now it is absolutely obvious that the Zaporozhye region, called the Tauride province, or maybe some other name will be invented, the Tauride region, will become part of Russia.”
