This is due to the failures of the Russian army on the front, probably the invaders will not be able to capture the whole territory of Donetsk region by this date, as they planned. About it reports the edition "Medusa" with reference to sources. According to journalists, the army of the Russian Federation is very slowly moving in the Donbass. Currently, the invaders control 60. 25% of Donetsk region, and a month ago this figure was 59. 7%.
However, the Russian authorities have not yet refused to hold illegal votes on the accession of "L/DNR", Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions in Russia. The publication says that the Putin administration still considers the option of "referendum" on September 11, but only 60% of Donetsk region will attach to Russia. Other territories of the region will be connected by default if they can be captured.
The interlocutors told reporters that the Russian Federation was convinced that by September the area would "be under their control. According to the media, the Kremlin planned to hold fake votes in the spring, so they do not want to transfer them again. However, Russia is already working on a spare scenario - for it "referendums" will be held in winter.
Moscow hopes that at that time the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will still be able to capture the Donetsk region and keep the already occupied regions. At the same time, the administration of the President of the Russian Federation understands that another transfer of a "referendum" will cause misunderstanding in those who support the invasion, they can consider it weakness.
The Kremlin does not know how to avoid such developments, but the residents of Russia occupied by Russia began to prepare for such a scenario. Medusa sources have explained that if the referendums are transferred to the winter, then the most likely political technologists will need to develop "new slogans and elements of ideology" for their conduct. The journalists learned that in the coming days Vladimir Putin would make a decision on the date of "referendum".
We will remind, on August 15, Britain's intelligence reported that Russia is in the last stage of referendum planning in the Donbass. The failure of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation from the occupation of the whole Donetsk region will be regarded as a failure to achieve all goals in Ukraine. On August 8, analysts from the Institute of War Study said that Russian troops can accelerate preparation for pseudo -referendum.
