Humiliated Putin will annex occupied Ukrainian regions in major speech TOMORROW – as his troops face 'imminent defeat' in key town amid rampaging Kyiv counter-attack

Vladimir Putin will formally annex occupied regions of Ukraine to Russian in a major speech tomorrow, the Kremlin has confirmed, as he attempts to regain the initiative after his forces suffered a humiliating rout earlier this month.

Putin's speech comes after Russian-backed proxy governments in Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions held sham referendums earlier this week on whether to go ahead with the move.

Armed Russian soldiers taking ballot boxes door-to-door left the results in no doubt, and Ukraine along with its Western allies have vowed not to recognise the results.

But it still marks a turning point in the war because it will allow PUTIN TO SPIN THE LIE to his own people that any attack on those regions is an attack on Russia itself - paving the way for him to escalate, possibly as far as using nukes.

Ukraine has vowed to defy that threat is continuing to attack into those regions today, with a key town in Donetsk now all-but surrounded.

Lyman, which sits close to the Donets river, is being flanked from northwest and southeast, with Kyiv's troops having cut off all escape routes bar one.

Putin's forces are facing 'imminent defeat' in the town which is a key supply hub for troops in the region.

Taking the town would clear the way for Ukraine to attack into neighbouring Luhansk province - which is almost completely under Russian control.

Putin maintains that the ultimate goal of his 'special military operation' is the liberation of both Donetsk and Luhansk, and defeats there would make it impossible to spin the war as a success.

It comes off the back of a devastating Ukrainian counter-attack east out of Kharkiv earlier this month that returned thousands of square miles to Kyiv's control and buckled Russia's frontline.

I never thought I would see a sizable minority of people here cheering for Russia, praising a Russian dictator and hoping for the downfall of NATO and the U.S. The QAnon thing seems to have damaged people’s brains.

They are all just reading off the talking points given to them by their Russian handlers. It is not unusual to see the exact same words, verbatim, posted by several of them on different threads at virtually the same time.

I really wish there was an objective news source outside pro Russia vs anti Russia.

There’s only pure propaganda from everywhere.

I recall the 99-year old Henry Kissinger suggesting a negotiated settlement a few months ago to the WEF and they basically ignored the old man.

I already did the work and concluded that DM has been trash reporting. THEY have to do the work to regain credibility. It starts with their headlines. It ends with Freepers being more discerning.

“Parliament will also have a role in ratifying the annexation.”

And it will be recognized and accepted by absolutely no other country. Not even Russia’s putative allies are recognizing and accepting the “annexation” as legitimate or legal. Well, there’s you, I guess.

Not at all. I have seen the videos and traveled around Russia many times.

You sound like a bidenista.

“The obvious deep state shills here on FR seem to all support the cv19vx (and narrative), the Ukr intervention, the Syria intervention, and presumably the 2020 election steal.”

Prove it, with facts.

Do you have any idea how overwhelmed the recruiting stations were a few days ago, all across Russia?

LOL! Did they put up recruiting stations at the border crossings? 😂😂😂

You didn’t “do the work” if you think this particular article is wrong. I have shown that the Lyman situation part is entirely correct, using a Russian source.

The rest is editorial.

No longer questioning social media sources and “doing the work” are mutually exclusive. No wonder my meme triggered you.

The success is not very impressive. I think the tables are going to be turned starting next month.

“Pandora Papers on Ukraine is the saddest thing ever. Rampant corruption.”

You do know, I assume, that Russia is rated as more corrupt than Ukraine? Check it out. There are several links on the internet to different lists.

Its a difficult process. Its like a paint-by-numbers game, that's missing half the numbers. Also, Orwell taught us - propaganda is important. There's always some hidden reality in propaganda, including what its NOT saying.
