Ukraine's four states began to join the Russian referendum as scheduled
Local time, Russian President Putin announced that it had signed a "local mobilization order" and recruited 300,000 reserve personnel.
This is the first time that Russia has mobilized war since the end of World War II . All walks of life have various analysis and speculation about Russia's move.
On September 23, the Russian Satellite News Agency disclosed that Russia's real intention of this move is to defend a 1,000-kilometer contact line with Ukrainian troops and a new territory controlled by Russia.
On September 23, the four states of Donetsk, Lugansk, Lugansk, , Zaporoze and Khlsson began to join the Russian Federation as scheduled.
Russia singled out the entire NATO
In fact, as early as 2014, in the same year that Crimea referred to Russia, the two states of Donetsk and Lugansk had held a referendum to declare independence, but were subsequently suppressed by strong military opposition from the Ukrainian authorities. Ukrainian Nazi troops killed and suppressed the two states.
After the Russian-Ukraine War broke out in February 2022, Russia announced that it would recognize these two states as independent republics, but the international community did not recognize it.
With the above four states holding a referendum to Russia, it is no longer important whether the international community recognizes its independence. What is important is that after the referendum, these four states became Russian territory.
Russian President Putin has pointed out that in order to defend the new territory, Russia will use all available means.
