Against the backdrop of Kremlin-staged “referendums”, Russia fired on Ukrainian cities again
Russian forces in Ukraine have launched new strikes against Ukrainian cities as Kremlin-sponsored “referendums” are held in the occupied regions to set up a pretext for Moscow to annex a number of Ukrainian events.
The Ukrainian presidential administration said at least three people and 19 victims were injured in the latest Russian shelling. Oleksandr Starukh, the Ukrainian chief of staff in Zaporizhia Oblast, from regions where one Moscow official meets for bogus “referendums” on joining Russia, said a Russian rocket hit an apartment building in Zaporizhia on Saturday night, killing one person. and seven were injured.
Ukraine and its Western allies say the “referendums” being held in Kherson, Zaporizhia, Luhansk and Donetsk regions are null and void. They discover that the vote is a revealed exploitation of Moscow to seize the Ukrainian nugget stretching from the Russian border to the Crimean peninsula.
The head of the Ukrainian administration of the Lugansk region, Serhiy Gai, said the vote “looks more like a poll of public opinion at gunpoint,” suggesting that Moscow-authorized military forces are authorized by the regional administration to escort representatives of election commissions and to register the names of people who voted against joining Russia.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky is planting Ukrainians in the occupied regions, will hold referendums and share information about the people who are conducting “this farce”. He also appoints the president of recruits from Russia to desert the army if they are appointed as part of the partial mobilization of troops announced in the association by Vladimir Putin.
Putin in the near future after the hasty approval of the already appointed appointment for soldiers who do not obey the orders of officers, as well as for deserters or soldiers who have surrendered to the enemy.
For “referendums”, which are often attended by employees of election commissions, accompanied by police officers, deliver ballots to homes and mobile polling stations are delivered. The vote took place on Tuesday.
The mobilization ordered by Putin marked a sharp departure from his designation of a seven-month war as a “special war mix” that does not interfere with the lives of most Russians.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that the order to call for reservists, regardless of employees or those with special skills, but virtually every Russian under the age of 65 is considered a reservist, Putin’s decree opens up the possibility for a wider draft.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on Saturday announced the structure of General Dmitry Bulgakov with the appointment of the Minister of Defense for Logistics. The order listed did not mention the reason for its structure, but the move was seen by many as the reason for the failure to secure operations in Ukraine.
