Voting held during war is a war crime. Both sides of the war have not held peace talks that have resulted in a joint agreement to allow such a vote. A vote such as this has to be consented to by all sovereign powers and demands a ceasefire.
Holding unilateral votes is nothing short of genocide as land is removed from a sovereign country for its people. Under such conditions people lose the homeland and benevolent government. It is nothing short of a hostile act that increases the danger to the people.
These were the same tactics Putin used in Crimea. The reason there was no resistance then was because Ukraine’s national military was disarmed by Yanukovych. This time the Ukraine national military has regained their sovereign strength and can fight back at Russia’s aggression.
Any voting held will be illegal as a large number of people in the occupied land are dead or refugees. This is very different than the illegitimate vote taken in Crimea. Additionally, Russia has reminded bed a large number of civilians from these regions and relocated them within Russia. Any returning people will be at the choice of Russia. Russia will weigh the outcome of any voting and completely corrupt any voting process.
The voting that Russia is trying to manipulate to change the language in regard to sovereignty is absolutely genocide and an international act of war. Putin in demanding this is the leader of a rouge country and has lost legitimacy to his purposes. Even before the vote occurs, the proposal is genocide by definition and Ukraine remains the sovereign power fighting for its homeland.
This is communist aggression. It can happen to other countries. If the information is correct that I read there is a build up of military aggression along Poland’s borders. Occupying these lands is only a military strategy to carry out greater war against NATO.
This communist aggression is quickly turning into a regional challenge of sovereignty. Putin is attempting to recreate the failed Soviet Union to advance war against the Free World to attempt world domination by the communists. The entire dreamscape has no basis in international law or even practicality to even attempt it.
All this aggression has no chance and is nothing but empty brinkmanship and people will die and remain displaced because the communists can’t admit defeat. Russians do not have to die to defend their country because no one is attacking Russia. If Putin continues his genocidal agenda NATO will be forced into it. NATO is not interested in a greater war. That is obvious.
