Russian Communiqué declares that after being incorporated into Russia, these four regions will form a new administrative region called the "Crimea Federal District" with Crimea . Former Russian Space Agency Director Dmitry Rogozin will most likely be appointed as the chief of the administrative region. Given the close relationship between Dmitry Rogozin and the Russian neo-Nazi forces, one of the purposes of the "special military operation" is to "de-Nazize" Ukraine. If this appointment comes true, it will be extremely ironic.
, including the pseudo-in-chief of these four occupied areas, many senior Russian officials congratulated the referendum results. Former Russian President and current vice-chairman of the Federal Security Commission Medvedev posted on social media, "The referendum is over, the result is obvious, welcome to go home and return to Russia!"
The "referendum to Russia" in four states including Donetsk, just like the "referendum to Russia" in 2014, lacks supervision from international organizations such as United Nations , has no transparency, and is a "referendum under the bayonet". Most countries in the world will not recognize it, and naturally have no legal effect. In other words, most countries in the world still regard the four regions including Crimea and Donetsk as Ukrainian territory.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kureba said after Kiev talks with French Foreign Minister Katherine Cologne that Ukraine urged EU to impose stricter economic sanctions on Russia as a punishment for Russia holding so-called "referendums into Russia" in occupied areas such as Donetsk. "Supervised measures alone are not enough. The more moderate the response to the so-called referendums of referendums , Russia's actions escalate and annex more territory The greater the possibility. "Culleba stressed that "in the content of the eighth round of sanctions plan (EU) we will see the EU's importance to the referendum issue."
. Earlier, Medvedev warned that in the context of the "referendum to Russia" held by Donetsk and other four states, resulting in escalating tensions with the West, Moscow has the right to respond "without much consultation", including the use of nuclear weapons, and emphasized that this position is "of course not a bluff."
According to the revised principle of use of nuclear weapons in Russia, Moscow has the right to use nuclear weapons to fight back once Russian territory is invaded. It is obvious that although most countries in the world will not recognize the "referendum on entry into Russia" between Donetsk and other four states, the Russian government is ready to regard these four regions as Russian territory. The counterattack of the Ukrainian army to regain the occupied territories is regarded by the Kremlin as an invasion of Russian territory and has the right to use nuclear weapons to attack Ukraine. The "special military operation" evolved into Russia's Patriotic War, and Ukraine became an invader. Isn't it magical?
"Iskander" can install tactical nuclear warheads
Medvedev also claimed that Russia can launch nuclear strikes against Ukraine without worrying about retaliation, because NATO countries will not directly take countermeasures. "Let us imagine that the Ukrainian government committed an aggression, which poses a threat to the survival of our country. Russia is forced to use the most powerful weapon against Ukraine. I believe NATO will not directly intervene."
Medvedev said he firmly believes that NATO countries will not want to "died from nuclear disasters", so no matter what weapons Russia uses against Ukraine, NATO will not retaliate against Russia. After all, for NATO, the security of Washington, London and Brussels is more important than the fate of Ukraine.
Since resigning as president, Medvedev has been considered to be far away from the core of Russian rights, but in his previous TV speech, President Putin also mentioned the issue of using nuclear weapons, not to mention that many Russian politicians have been clamoring to use nuclear weapons to attack European cities such as London and Berlin . It can be said that the Kremlin has publicly developed nuclear threat , rather than those unofficial nuclear intimidation.
Although the United States and other governments believe that Russia will not use nuclear weapons, the Ukrainian government is worried that the Russian army will use tactical nuclear weapon to change the current adverse situation. Podolak, adviser to the Ukrainian Presidential Office, said that the Ukrainian government hopes that the four nuclear powers, China, the United States, Britain and France, can warn Russia that if Russia dares to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine, it will receive specific responses from these four nuclear powers. But as of now, no country has responded to this. Is the "Budapest Memorandum" still valid? Many people are doubting.
