referendums in the “DPR” and “LPR”, as well as on other “territories of Ukraine affected by the military operation”, most likely will not be combined with a single voting day in Russia, which will be held on September 11, Russian media write with reference to sources close to the Kremlin.
Representatives of the Russian Federation on September 11, as a date selected for holding a referendum, was not officially called. The head of the occupational military-civil administration of the Zaporizhzhya region of Ukraine Yevgeny Balitsky, on August 11, spoke on August 11 on August 11 in an interview with the Russian media on August 11 in an interview with the Russian media. The head of the “LPR” Leonid Pasechnik said that a referendum is possible only after the “liberation of the territory of the DPR”. However, Russia’s offensive in the Donetsk region after the capture of Severodonetsk and Lisichansk practically stopped.
On the eve of the US authorities, they said that Russia may announce its referenda in the captured regions of Ukraine before the end of this week. “The Russian leadership instructed officials to begin preparations for fictitious referenda,” said John Kirby, coordinator for strategic communications in the National Security Council of the White House. >
