Russia's Putin says people in occupied regions of Ukraine are 'our citizens forever'
Russian President Vladimir Putin says that the people of four Moscow-occupied Ukraine regions are becoming "Russian citizens forever", during his address at the annexation treaty signing ceremony for the regions of Lugansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia after so-called referendums that Moscow organised.
He also claims the West wants to see Russia as a "colony".
