Four referendums have ended in Russian-held regions of Ukraine – votes which Moscow may use as grounds to annex more territory.
Moscow-installed officials in the regions are now claiming almost total support among those who took part in the disputed votes on joining Russia.
The polls have been denounced as a sham by Ukraine’s government and its allies.
In the absence of international recognition, the process was not monitored independently.
The votes were held in the breakaway eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk.
