How good's your Russian? It's covered at tass.ru/mezhdunarodnaya-panorama/15830237.
As reported by TASS, of course... we wouldn't want to be unfair to the Russian occupation
now would we.
Or, https://tass.com/politics/1513757 if you want the English language articles.
Let's just unpick the bullshit Zaporizhzhia numbers.
"The voter turnout at the referendum in the Zaporozhye Region
on joining Russia has reached 66.43% after four days of voting,
Galina Katyushchenko, chairperson of the regional election
commission, said on Monday."
Correction: 66.43% of whatever percentage of the population of that region
didn't flee the occupation OR relocated into another Russian controlled area.
"In all, a total of 36,558 people voted abroad over the four
days," she added.
Does that include this train load? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmpfWJkbCRM
Or these ones? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEbpxyqkYOA
Russia didn't issue ballots to anyone displaced from Zaporizhzhia Oblast, and
not living in an area under Russian occupation.
Exact figures are not known, but even conservative estimates indicate:

Even if you discount the 400k due to it including refugees from Kherson and
Mariupol, it still means that 810,000 people STILL IN Zaporizhzia were denied
a vote (because they might oppose annexation?) while 36,558 people OUTSIDE
THE COUNTRY E.G. IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS IN RUSSIA were given a vote.
And finally, this just in from Twitter, choose your brand of salt to pinch:
Pay attention to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.
Some type of sabotage there by Western powers may
be the precursor to the direct war they so clearly want
with Russia.
Yeah, that'd be the nuclear power plant occupied by Russians, surrounded by
Russians, and where they've been going door to door for the last 3 days checking
that everyone's a loyal voter in a rigged referendum.
The invisible Westerner strikes again!
But hang on - if their hold on the Oblast is so stronk, surely there can't BE any
Western saboteurs buggering around with the power station? Surely they're all
up the road in the capital city whose population is more than double the population
of the occupied provinces?
The wargonzo channel guy from Smolensk, RUSSIA “voted.” The entire thing is a Stalinist agitprop farce and only the willfully blind are accepting it.
