Partisans and friction among the invaders. The ISW explained why the Russian Federation is unlikely
Video Day at the same time despite the statements of the occupying "power" in the Zaporizhzhya region on the promotion of this issue, analysts consider it unlikely to hold "referendums" on temporarily seized territories on September 11 "because of friction in occupation administrations and guerrilla attacks that are ongoing.
" The adviser to the chairman of the Kherson Ova Sergey Khlan stated that in the occupation "administrations" there were problems in order to find people who would be responsible for preparation for the "referendum". It is likely that because of a lack of people among the locals and the low level of confidence of the population, it is said in the construction of ISW.
Khlan suggested that Russian dictator Volodymyr Putin could not send managers from Russia to conduct pseudo -referendums so that the process has the appearance of a wide mass initiative with local support. On June 23, the National Resistance Center, created by the Armed Forces forces of the Armed Forces, said that Russian invaders plan to hold a pseudo -referendum on the creation of "republics" in temporarily captured territories in Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions on September 11.
On July 20, the Coordinator of the US National Security and Strategic Communications, John Kirby, stated that in the White House they have information that Russian invaders are preparing for the annexation of the territories of Ukraine, captured after February 24, and want to repeat the schemes used in 2014.
On August 24, he stated that during a conversation with his Ukrainian colleague Vladimir Zelensky, US President Joe Biden would warn the latter about the possible holding of "referendums" in the occupied territories of Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions "within the next few days. " Russian troops control almost the entire territory of the Kherson region with the regional center and about 60% of the territory of Zaporizhzhya region.
