A special military operation could become an anti-terrorist operation after the recent referenda ? said current Crime leader Sergey Aksyonov.
Special military operation will effectively become an anti-terrorism operation in the event of the accession of Zaporozia and Kherson regions in Russia, he said.
A certain non-returned point will be passed soon. Taking on a new status for liberated territories will end uncertainty. They will become full regions of the Russian Federation. And we will not effectively carry out a special operation but an anti-terrorism operation on our territories”, Aksyonov said in his channel at Telegram this Monday.
Speaking of referenda in Donbas and liberated territories, he also expressed his opinion that the “people of [these] regions have long decided on their legitimate selection”.
Referendums for admission into Russia of these regions ended yesterday after taking place for 4 days from September 23rd-27.
On Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin is expected to appear in a public statement during which he will officially address the results of the referenda, as well as the direction Russia will take.
In Moscow's Red Square, a tribunes have been set up with giant screens, videos, billboards that read <x0-Donnetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizija, Kherson Russia! ”
Putin is expected to announce the annexation of Ukraine's territory within Friday, just days after he threatened that following the admission of these regions as part of Russia's mother, he would protect Russia with nuclear weapons if necessary.
The results are clear. Welcome home to Russia!” said Dmitry Medvedev, the former president who serves as deputy head of the Russian Security Council, in Telegram, after publishing the results today.
Russia-backed authorities claim they have conducted the referenda over 5 days on the territory that makes up about 15% of Ukraine.
Some of the residents who fled to Ukrainian-controlled territories in recent days have told of people who have been forced to mark ballots on the street by officials equipped with guns, even though the opposite is claimed by the pro-Russian side. /Euronews/
