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%.

I wonder if Biden and the DNC are secretly writing Putin and asking him to tell them how he did it!

Does Russia want people to know this is fake?
Obviously 98.3% of the people know this is fake, and 93% would not believe it regardless of the numbers reported, but Russia must realize that it would be easier to argue that the rsults are real if the measures won with say 70% Da’s.

These numbers are real…do you really think they supported Ukraine in Eastern Ukraine after Kiev directed bombs at them since 2014?

Really? If they had had a referendum in Texas to leave Mexico back in the time of Santa Anna I wonder if the “Yes” vote would be in the 90s. I bet it would have. You would have said it was fixed. YOU FAIL to understand the zeitgeist in Eastern Ukraine now.

So they finally got a chance to vote as they were promised in 2014?

No, they were more direct and sent soldiers to force people to vote and they watched while the people voted.

Countries next to Russia are reporting huge Russian votes by feet to leave it.

Same guys just have managed Saddam Hussein’s elections, even got the votes of all the kids in the children’s prison, the dead from the gassing of Halabja, and the survivors of the Iraqi Olympic team.

I’m not sure.

I don’t really trust Wikipedia on political issues but here’s what they have listed as the language people in that region speaks:

Native language of the population of the city of Donetsk as of the Ukrainian Census of 2001:[58]

• Russian 87.8%

• Ukrainian 11.1%

• Armenian 0.1%

• Belarusian 0.1%

The vote the Putin, style:
Most people run away or were killed.
The remining were “freely” voting with a guy with AK-47 watching over them, just to be sure.
I hope it will not get that way in the USA!
Biden surely tries to have similar votes here!

maybe true. No one wants their cities and homes bombed for 6 months straight and counting.

It's hilarious in a sick way. Russian units are beaten like baldheaded stepchildren in critical positions and run like crazy. The Russian bosses immediately announce scam votes to be held in the areas being lost by them, threaten to use nukes if beaten any further and threaten us with nukes.

Is anyone surprised? As Stalin so famously — or infamously — said, “It’s not the people who vote that count, it’s the people who count the votes.”

Taiwan is a bigger issue to many on FR than the ATM of the WEF and the deep state. This could have ended if NATO did their thing, but geez, Braindead Brandon’s handlers thought they could squeeze more money from us taxpayers.
