Russia will support the results of "referendums" in the occupied territories of Ukraine - Putin (video)

"We cannot, we have no right to give people close to us. According to the Russian President, the Kremlin addressed the so -called Donbass authorities and the captured territories of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions to approve the results of "plebiscites", which should be held in late September. Putin stressed that Russia would allegedly do everything possible to ensure safe conditions for illegal voting.

On September 19, the so -called "public councils" first in the LNR, and then in the DNR demanded that the "authorities" in the regions immediately pseudo -referendums on accession to the Russian Federation were immediately held. Yesterday, September 20, the "Public Council" in the occupied Kherson region took a similar initiative.

The latter were fighters from the captured units of the Zaporizhzhya region - here the appeal to the so -called vote on accession to the Russian Federation came from the collaborators from the organization "We We together with Russia". On the same day, the so -called chairman of the occupation administration of the Kherson region, Volodymyr Saldo, stated that the local "authorities" made a decision to hold a "referendum" in the Ukrainian region.

Later, the militants with "LNR" and "DNR" named the date of "referendums" in the captured Lugansk and Donetsk regions. The so -called voting should take place between September 23 and September 27.

The US Defense Ministry Prescribe, Brigade General Pet Ryder said that Moscow's desire to hold referendums in the occupied territories of the Donbass, Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions is a way to divert the attention of the population of the aggressor country from the successful counter-offensive of Ukrainian troops. Analysts of the American Institute for the Study of War, for their part, believe that "referendums" are needed by the Kremlin to self -mobilize the Russians.

After the annexation of the territories, the Russian leadership will urge the population to join the ranks of the Russian army to protect their territory. In addition, Putin has repeatedly emphasized that Russian conscripts would not send war to Ukraine. The so -called attachment of Ukrainian territories to the Russian Federation gives the Kremlin Lazivka - in this case, conscripts can be sent to the front without unnecessary explanations.
