Russian-backed officials in four occupied regions of Ukraine are holding self-styled referendums on joining Russia.
Denounced as illegitimate and a sham by Ukraine and the West, these so-called votes are taking place over five days while all four areas - two in the east and two in the south - are on the front line.
An annexation could lead to a claim by Russia that its territory is coming under attack from Western weapons supplied to Ukraine.
