STORYLINE:
Hundreds of locals celebrated in the Russian-controlled Donetsk and Luhansk regions on Friday as Russian president Vladimir Putin signed treaties to incorporate four Ukrainian regions into Russia, in defiance of Western powers.
People watched on big screens as Putin welcomed the Kremlin-appointed heads of the four regions in Moscow, singing patriotic songs and waving Russian flags.
"For me personally - I was born in the Soviet Union. We have always been a part of the union together with Russia," said Inna Tarabanovskaya, a resident of Luhansk.
"I want to be back in my country, back home."
In a ceremony at the Kremlin, Putin and the Moscow-installed leaders in four regions of Ukraine put their names on treaties for them to join Russia, in a sharp escalation of the seven-month conflict.
The signing ceremony comes three days after the completion of Kremlin-organised votes on joining Russia, the legitimacy of which has been widely questioned by Kyiv and the West.
