class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What advantages did the Russian Federation want to get from the referendums?The \u201cjoining\u201d of 4 Ukrainian regions is Putin&#8217;s attempt to turn Ukraine&#8217;s defensive actions against Russian aggression into offensive ones with all the following consequences. The \u201cinclusion\u201d of the annexed Ukrainian regions into the Russian Federation should, first of all, provide the Putin regime with new cannon fodder, because it enables him to mobilize citizens from the annexed territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, it is important to remember, that fake referendums are a tool for Putin to &#8220;legitimize&#8221; de facto partial control over the annexed territories while it is still there. Such &#8220;legitimization&#8221; does not occur due to legal norms, but due to lost time. During these 8 years, Ukraine has already shown that it will never recognize the results of illegitimate referendums, so the country is not going to cede sovereignty after another series of the same fake referendums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>At the same time, the mobilization and \u201czombification\u201d of Ukrainians in the annexed territories are gaining momentum day by day, reducing Ukraine&#8217;s public position there. Therefore, the delay in decisive actions, such as the transfer of weapons to Ukraine, will not lead to peace or even a truce, but will only contribute to the prolongation of the war.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On September 30, according to the results of the \u201creferendums\u201d, Putin signed agreements on the annexation of the territories of 4 Ukrainian regions.
