The treaties went to the Constitutional Court, where they were certified as lawful on Sunday, according to court documents published online.
And then on Monday, they were ratified by the State Duma, the lower house of the Parliament, followed on Tuesday by the Federal Council, their upper house. This latest step in the process of accepting the four regions as new parts of Russia was approved in a unanimous vote.
And finally, on Wednesday, Putin signed into law four unification treaties with the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, as well as the Kherson and Zaporizhia Regions. They are now officially Russian!
Pozdravlyayu, Rossiya!
In yesterday's Champions League Group F match, Celtic's hopes of progressing in the Champions League were badly dented after RB Leipzig eventually triumphed 3-1 in a frantic and entertaining contest.
The first half was played at a great intensity, and Die Roten Bullen opened the scoring in the twenty-seventh minute.
Celtic came out of the blocks quickly after the break, with Reo Hatate playing a smart pass to Kyogo Furuhashi who set up Jota to score the equaliser in the forty-seventh minute.
But seventeen minutes later and then in the seventy-seventh minute, the opposing team scored a brace to wrap up the points.
However, it's hard to escape the feeling that Celtic's inexperience at this level is costing them. Only two of the nine starters have played serious minutes in the Champions League before this season, and it shows in the big moments. Too often they are wasteful in front of goal, and in turn are punished for errors.
Having said that, two of the mistakes which led to goals were committed by the two players who do have elite level experience.
Next, Celtic are away to St Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday, before Leipzig come to Celtic Park on Tuesday. I’m sure the Bundesliga side will fancy their chances of putting Celtic out of the equation for second place in the group.
