The individual believes that Ukraine is inextricably, it may be nothing, the actual control of the four states of the East has long fallen into Russian hands, the local administrative system and infrastructure are operating according to the Russian model, even currencies are exchanged for rubles, and residents have been given Russian passports.
Although most of the international community refused to recognize the five-day referendum on September 20, 2022, Russia immediately revised its constitution and incorporated the names of the four states of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhne and Khersson directly into its legal system, completing the legal process.
By the summer of 2025, Luhansk has been announced by Russia to have been cleared, and there are no sporadic strongholds controlled by the Ukrainian army on the map. Data from the Russian Ministry of Defense shows that 99.7% of the state's territory is under control, leaving less than 60 square kilometers of area still bears the name of Ukraine.
This kind of control is by no means at the military level. 700,000 Russian troops are stuck like nails across the four states: the road and railway nodes in Donetsk are guarded by tank groups, the surroundings of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant are covered with fortifications, and the bridges on the left bank of the Dnieper River in Kherson are all on duty by Russian military police, and a permanent military base has been built in Luhansk. Putin also specially extended the term of Chief of General Staff Gerasimov in 2025 to make this defense system stronger.
Administrative transformation has long been advanced simultaneously. The parliaments of the four states have been changed from the "Rada" to the Russian-style "Duma". The official system has been completely reconstructed according to the Kremlin's template. Even the leaders of the four states have been drawn into the Russian Federation State Council and can directly participate in the formulation of Russia's national budget and personnel arrangements.
In September 2025, local elections were held here along with the mainland of Russia, the election of governors, elected members of parliament, and even the next March Russian presidential elections included the four states in the voting scope, a process that went further than the administrative operation of the mainland of Ukraine.
Economic bonding also broke the way backwards, Helmsons in 2022 began to parallel the ruble and the Griffin, by 2025 became the ruble unique underground, the branches of the Russian bank are everywhere, the opening of accounts and residence certificates can be simplified, in order to make this bond more stable, Schumacher's cabinet mentioned the defense budget to 13.2 trillion rubles, accounting for 40% of the total expenditure.
Many of them were spent on the infrastructure of the four states: the coal mine in Lugansk was re-rooted, the power grid in Zaporozhye entered the main Russian dry grid, even the metro tickets in Helsinki were replaced with the Russian design, and even more seriously, the "Far East one hectare" plan was expanded here, and the families of the soldiers who participated in the war could settle directly, making it clear that the population structure should be changed.
The most crucial is still the bond of people, Putin in 2025 issued the ultimatum, the residents of the four states either have a Russian passport before September 10, or rolled out the passengers, who do not want to go or certificate, may be sent to Siberia for infrastructure construction, by 2024 official statistics there will be 3.2 million Russian passports, more than 1.5 million in 2023, this is comparable to sending fax.
In addition, the accompanying sweetheads were enough, the retirement of $200 per month arrived on time, more than the 70% of the pension owed on the Ukrainian side, and 2.5 million books of Russian language textbooks in the school had long replaced the original Ukrainian textbooks, 10th grade students directly linked to Russian high school exams.
In contrast, power and water cuts are the norm in Ukrainian-controlled areas. No wonder someone in Kharkiv gave directions to the Russian army, and farmers in Sumy used tractors to transport ammunition to the Russian army.
Now the international community has screamed for three years "no recognition", but the actual state of the four states has already become a fact, Russia occupies 20% of Ukraine's land, military spending has to stabilize the defense line, the four states coal mines, farmland became the supply station for supporting the war, Ukraine's 2023 counter-occupation eaten how much land, even in the north of the country appeared Russian buffers, so-called "recovery of lost land" more like a slogan.
In the end, the cutting-edge matter is now a spell, Russia with the Constitution, the army, the rubles, the passports woven the net, the four states firmly wrapped into its system, the international community's statement is harsher, can not stop the local residents with Russian passports to receive pensions, can not stop the Russian military in the battlefield eating four state-produced food, Ukraine even if bite dead without signing the agreement, those lands are also difficult to return, after all, the law can argue, but 700,000 troops guard the reality, no one can really ignore.
