In the United States, it seems that Russia intends to carry out illegal

The White House believes that Russia is preparing to hold pseudo -referendums in September

In the United States, it seems that Russia intends to carry out illegal "referendums" on the accession of the occupied territories of Ukraine in September. This was stated by the White House Speaker John Kirby in an interview with the Russian TV channel Rain. “We see signs that indicate that Russia is still going to hold this quasi -referendum this month.

This is their way to achieve some kind of political legitimacy of military success that they either have already achieved or are going to achieve or want to achieve in the future. And in some sense, it can compensate for the fact that they have not achieved the necessary success, because they are trying to achieve them politically, ”said Biden administration official.

Video of the day, according to Kirby, such "referendums" are "another scheme from the Kremlin methodology to claim at least some legitimacy in this unrelated, illegitimate war they solved in Ukraine. " The White House representative stressed that according to new polls, Ukrainians do not want to be part of Russia, but want to be a sovereign state. On August 30, the US State Department reported that the Kremlin would try to organize a fake "referendum" in Ukraine "in the coming weeks".

Earlier, intelligence reported that Russian invaders plan to organize the so -called "referendums" in the occupied cities of Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions on September 11. 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.
