Russia does not completely control any of the four regions it says it is annexing - Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson - and the Kremlin says it has yet to determine the final borders of the annexed territory.
Russian President Vladimir Putin may finalize his plan to annex four Ukrainian regions later on Tuesday, October 4, even as his forces are being pushed back by Ukraine on two separate battlefield fronts, shrinking the amount of seized territory he controls.
Russia does not completely control any of the four regions it says it is annexing – Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson – and the Kremlin has said it has yet to determine the final borders of the annexed territory. In the east, Ukrainian forces have been expanding an offensive after capturing the main Russian bastion in the north of Donetsk, the town of Lyman, hours after Putin proclaimed the annexation of the province last week.
Dudchany is about 30 km south of where the front stood before Monday’s breakthrough, indicating Ukraine’s fastest advance of the war in the south.
