“LDNR” militants demand immediate “referendums” on joining russia

The so-called "public chambers" of the "LNR" and "DNR" demand to immediately initiate referendums on their recognition as subjects of the russian federation (rf).

UP writes about this with reference to russian media.

It is noted that the militants turned to their leaders, Leonid Pasichnyk and Denys Pushylin, with the initiative to immediately hold a referendum on recognizing them as subjects of the russian federation.

They explain this by saying that "joining russia will secure the republic, open up new opportunities on the way to return to a peaceful life."

Militants also "expressed confidence that the people of the republic will support the initiative."

In the Donetsk region, in particular, they assure that the pseudo-referendum is "not a matter of one day"; it is too early to talk about the date.

Despite propaganda statements about "taking control of the entire territory of the Luhansk region," the russians did not succeed in this after more than half a year of full-scale war. At the beginning of September, the Ukrainian military launched a counteroffensive.
