Moscow's proxies in occupied Ukraine regions report big votes to join Russia
Reuters ^

Russian-installed officials in occupied regions of Ukraine reported huge majorities on Tuesday in favour of becoming part of Russia after five days of voting in so-called referendums that Kyiv and the West denounced as a sham.

Hastily arranged votes had taken place in four areas - the eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, and to the south Zaporizhzhia and Kherson - that make up about 15% of Ukrainian territory.

Luhansk authorities said 98.4% of people there had voted to join Russia. In Zaporizhzhia, a Russian-appointed official put the figure at 93.1%. In Kherson, the head of the voting committee put the "yes" vote at above 87%.

Native language is no indicator of anyone’s desire to be united with the “mother country.” Heck, I speak English and I most assuredly don’t want to be re-united with England. And Zelensky is a native Russian speaker too. So those numbers don’t mean anything.

Then the ChiComs, believing that us decadent Yankee Imperialists are too chicken to further support Ukraine and that Russia will keep the conquered areas, tell everyone to make a deal quick! The following headlines are from a news aggregator.

For most part, it is in Europe. Think of the war in Yugoslavia.

Heck, I speak English and I most assuredly don't want to be re-united with England

Not the same thing. Different in Europe/Asia/Africa where these nationalities and customs go back hundreds of years with ancestos going back up to even longer.

The Russian bosses immediately announce scam votes t

“Scam votes” huh?
Is that why Ukraine was so scared of losing, they actually threatened any Ukrainians who dared to vote with hefty jail terms?
How the heck do you threaten anyone with jail for voting?
Oh wait, Ukraine is backed by the biggest vote stealer on the planet, Joe Biden.

Obviously 98.3% of the people know this is fake,

Not during a big war. And not when Ukraine has threatened hefty jail terms for anyone who voted. That would drive down the pro Ukraine votes, no?

The language one speaks is not a clear indication of political affiliation.

Zelensky is a native Russian speaker.

And the majority even 90% of Irish speak English only. Doesn’t make them want to join the UK.

Neither do Zurich citizens want to join Germany

Russia had forced Russification since the 1890s.

It wasn’t unusual, the French reduced Occitan, Gascon, Breton etc., the English nearly eliminated welsh, cornish as well as Yorks etc

Language is not the only indicator of national sentiment

Why would Russia need to do that? They could just fill out the ballot themselves with a resounding “yes.”

I have no doubt at the heavy votes for Russian sovereignty in the Donbass and the other regions, even by some non-Russians that lived under the harsh, dangerous conditions of the Ukraine rule. The 2014 treaty, from my understanding, has been totally ignored by the Ukraine gov't. and the Azov Nazis. The same for the peace agreement that was brokered.

Now I will get name-called, I guess, by overly-opiniated people.

The international observers who attested to the results are already feeling the wrath of Ursula von der Leyen and minions- getting fired from their jobs, sanctioned.

As of the past several hours USAF is circling Kalingrad. This is ramping up in a bad way.
