Interesting logic of Russia. Today they announced that over 5900 their troops were killed in Ukraine. If these numbers would be real (who would dare to not believe what Russians are saying), why they needed mobilization?
And why they didn't accepted these news positively? It's easy to be Z-patriot at home, far away from front, but now when there is risk for you to be sent there, all patriotism is gone.
Ukraine already 'voted' that these oblasts are part of Ukraine. BTW, the Ukrainian army controls some of the territories in these oblasts.
How do Russians plan to conduct the referendum in these oblasts? Total bullshit.
Actually, Russia don't have full control of none of these oblasts, except Luhansk. Most ridiculous situation in Zaporizhia oblast where main city of oblast - Zaporizhia is under control of Ukraine. Zaporizhia People's Republic without Zaporizhia.
