Implementing the so-called "show of will" measures will depend on the situation at the front and whether the enemy will be able to break the resistance of the Ukrainians. Vadym Skibitskyi, a Ministry of Defense of Ukraine representative, stated this during an interview with "RBK-Ukraine".
"If we talk about "referenda", they can take place in different territories. First, these are the so-called "LPR" and "DPR". There, Russia has already somewhat defined their status by recognizing these illegal entities. Now we are primarily talking about the temporarily occupied territories of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions," Vadim Skibitsky noted.
According to him, the dates of the pseudo-referenda may be different.
"For example, September 11, when they have the only voting day in the Russian Federation. There may be other options. But the military intelligence of Ukraine is now clearly monitoring all the processes taking place there. Today, we can confidently say that appropriate election headquarters, operational headquarters, and voter lists have been compiled, and election commissions have been created. That is, all the processes related to the preparation for the "referendum" are almost completed," said the representative of the military intelligence of Ukraine.
The representative of the HUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine noted that Russian politicians, government officials, and so-called volunteers, who are responsible for the preparation of the voting process, are constantly coming to the temporarily occupied territories.
