Due to the counter -offensive of the Armed Forces in Kharkiv region, the Kremlin has paused the pseudo -referendum - Roszma
It is about the accession of self-proclaimed LNR and DNR and the occupied territories of Ukrainian regions: Zaporizhzhya, Kharkiv and Kherson, where the Russian authorities have previously formed the so-called military-civilian administrations. Video Day Medusa interlocutors explained that the only reason for this decision is a successful counter -offensive of Ukrainian troops in the Kharkiv direction.
Sources have emphasized that the Kremlin's political technologists who worked in Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhya regions have already been recalled to Russia. In the Kherson region, Russian political technologists who have prepared the referendum remain. According to the Russian media, the Russian authorities do not understand when it will be able to return to the discussion of specific dates of possible vote - it depends on how the counter -offensive of Ukraine will develop.
The Russian Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov did not answer the fate of referendums. At the end of June, the National Resistance Center, created by the Armed Forces forces of the Armed Forces, reported that Russian invaders plan to hold pseudo -referendums on the creation of "republics" in temporarily captured territories in Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions on September 11.
Mayor Mariupol Advisor Petro Andryushchenko also reported that the pseudo -referendum on annexation of Donetsk region was appointed on September 11, 2022. The White House stated that Russian invaders are preparing for annexation of the territories captured after February 24, and want to repeat the same schemes with pseudo -referendums as in 2014.
On August 7, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that if Russia holds pseudo -referendums in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, negotiations with our country will be closed for her. On September 2, the head of Lugansk Ova Ova Ova said that the work of the defenders of Ukraine and the guerrillas disrupts the occupiers' plans for pseudo -referendum and will not be in the near future.
