To hold pseudo-plebiscites, it does not need either the complete capture of certain areas within their administrative borders, or a stable security situation, or the support of the population. This was stated on the air of the FREEDOM marathon by Pavel Lisyansky, the founder of the public organization Eastern Human Rights Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main reason for the postponement of the \u201creferendums\u201d in the occupied territories of Donbass, in his opinion, is Moscow\u2019s desire to hold them simultaneously in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions. According to Lisyansky, the new tentative dates are October 20-23. At the same time, he draws attention to the fact that the occupiers do not have to hold a \u201cplebiscite\u201d in all settlements, just as they did not hold it in 2014 either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cA fake referendum can be held in Svatovo (the occupied city of the Lugansk region \u2013 ed.) in one school. They can drive people to this school. After that, the invaders will hold a referendum there. Russians can manipulatively announce that the referendum took place on the territory of the entire Svatovo&#8221;, &#8211; Lisyansky gives an example.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The Russians can do something similar in the captured settlements of the Kherson and Zaporizhia regions, declaring, as they declare now, that this applies to the territory of the entire region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cThere is no need to look for logic here. We won&#8217;t go to court to sue them. There is only one logic here &#8211; it is an occupier. He forcibly seizes our territory, wants to somehow legalize his actions in order to later enter it into the history books \u2026 According to their estimates, 20-30 years &#8211; and the situation will be forgotten, no one will remember these processes. And, accordingly, the Russian Federation will be there\u201d, &#8211; Lisyansky explains the Kremlin\u2019s plans.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>According to him, the only thing that is currently holding back the plans of the invaders to hold &#8220;referendums&#8221; is the resistance of the Ukrainian people and the actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lisyansky stressed that the Kremlin is determined to create some kind of union state, and this may be one of the scenarios for the legalization of the occupation. In general, Moscow has many such scenarios, and it is indifferent to the international reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;The Russian Federation will deliberately drag out the war against Ukraine.
