Nobody but a Russian sycophant thinks those “referenda” were free and fair. A vote with thousands of armed Russian soldiers standing by, even counting the votes? Please don’t insult our intelligence. The ballots in Crimea had two choices: Annexation immediately, or annexation in a couple of months. Actual turnout there was less than 30%, which of course was not reported.
Claims that those provinces “voted for independence” are Muskovite horsepoop. You are proving once again that you are nothing but a mouthpiece for Putin. “A finger on the claw of Sauron”, to coin a phrase.
Let’s talk about the tens of thousands of Ukrainian children and adults whom you forcibly deported into the Russian interior to make the “Russian” proportion of the population more favorable. Let’s talk about how you forced ethnic Ukrainians to get Russian passports, or face deprivation of driving licenses, jobs, housing, professional licenses, even medical care.
How is it that you accept Biden’s election but ignore the vote totals coming from the newly liberated territories of Eastern Russia 🇷🇺? Feel free to support your argument with links rather than hysteria. Why not start with the children removed from the range of Kiev’s artillery fire to safety?
