    Default Which way will they vote?

    Four areas of Ukraine controlled by Russian forces are preparing to hold referendums on joining Russia. Voting in the Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia provinces, representing 15 per cent of Ukrainian territory, is due to run from Friday to Tuesday.
    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-ne...-mobilisation/

    President Putin is said to be inviting expert observers from China and North Korea to ensure there is no election fraud as happens in America.

    Which way will the people vote? I have a small wager on them voting to join Russia, but it could be a close-run thing!

    I suspect the issue is not, "Which way will they vote?"...but rather, "Which way will the vote-counters count?"

    If my suspicion is correct, Ukraine will lose 15% of its territory.

    But the war will come to an end, so...

    With Putin in charge and both communist China and North Korea monitoring the election, I'm guessing 97% vote to stay with Putin.

    I don't believe it will. The Russians need to seal off the Black sea completely once they've expanded their territory. It's the logical move to crush 'Ukrainian' NATO aspirations.

    This IS about NATO aspirations, in case anybody has forgotten- and the Russians have been very clear about their reactions to that.

    Your support for Putin's War matches your support for Islamic Jihad. Time will tell when the UK authorities pay you a visit for terrorist activities.

    Your opposition to journalism suits your perverted racist aspirations.

    The vote means nothing, its not legal, it wont be fair and wont change anything. The people of Ukraine will reclaim their lands.

    Don't you get it yet ? It is ' the people of Ukraine ' who are voting.

    Its not who votes, but who counts the votes, who makes the rules. It means absolutely nothing. In the meantime, Russia is getting trounced, and its worse each day.

    So your aim is to disenfranchise Ukrainians- just as the US -led coup did in 2014.

    My dear, countries have laws and constitutions for a reason. If people dont like being a part of Ukraine, they are free to move back to Russia. Lets say the people of Arizona held a referendum and voted to start their own country, would a government allow that? This is just cover to keep people's minds aways from the disaster that is their own Russian army.

    The English King George was a tad upset when it happened to him- but the new Americans prevailed.
