Russia intensified preparations for the so-called “referendums” in eastern and southern Ukraine.
Ukraine will not conduct any negotiations with Russia if the aggressor will decide to hold so-called “referendums” in the temporarily captured territories, warned the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi.
“The position of our state remains the same as it was earlier: we will not give anything of ours, and if the occupiers follow the path of these pseudo-referendums, they will close for themselves any possibility of negotiations with Ukraine and the free world, which the Russian side will definitely need at a certain moment,” he said during the evening address .
Zelensky warned that all those who help the occupiers organize pseudo-referendums will be answerable to the law and Ukraine. >
Russia is interested in holding “referendums” on the annexation of captured territories of Ukraine as soon as possible. The first deputy head of the AP of the Russian Federation Sergei Kiriyenko supervises the training. Special attention is paid to Donbas, captured territories of Kherson Oblast and Zaporizhzhia. Experts call the beginning of September the probable date.
