There are lies and damn lies and these results are the biggest lie in the universe How can Putin genuinely think that the world we accept these as genuine? Russian state media has announced the preliminary results of the so-called referendums being held in occupied parts of Ukraine. With about a fifth of votes counted, it is reported that an overwhelming majority have voted in favour of joining Russia: 97% in Kherson region 98% in Zaporizhzhia 98% in “Donetsk People’s Republic” 98% in “Luhansk People’s Republic” |

I'm only surprised the results weren't 100% in favour - perhaps he thought that would suspicious? 😏

Allegedly, some Ukrainians living in those areas were "repatriated" to Russia nbcnews.com . If true that would have removed a lot of "no" votes, leaving mostly "yes" votes from Russians already living there and Russians who have been "imported" from Russia to Ukraine to occupy those territories.

The sabotage of the pipeline doesn't make sense to me. Totally removes any possibility (obvs can be repaired) of Russia earning an income from it. Also, who's left in Russia? The borders are jammed. |
