    Since we’re talking about Ukraine, it’s very likely the war will escalate tomorrow or later this week.

    Russia is holding the referenda, they moved 800 planes to the border, Kadyrov said it was time to stop playing with Ukraine, Erdogan said Russia intends to finish the war soon, Duma is introducing terms like mobilisation in the legal code.

      For the sake of the people in the Donbas, I hope they prioritize getting rid of the Nazis as soon as possible. I don’t know how Russia will achieve de-Nazification and demilitarization throughout Ukraine any time in the near future without just occupying it, though

        The referedum will include more than the DPR and LPR, the entire Donbass region will take part in it, which includes Kherson and other places I forgot. It’s also about joining the RF btw.

        LPR referendum will be held from sep. 23 to 27.

        And the thing is, I have to point out the elephant in the room, but them joining the RF throws out all talks about the LPR being independent. So it’s one thing if they vote yes, but I wonder what happens if they vote no. Another referendum for independence?

          Good. Another referendum is a possibility; maybe it would be easier to formally include them in the RF until the military operation is completely finished, and then let them leave if they still want to (although I’m not sure how it would help, politically or materially)

          EDIT: Just watched this overview by Mr. N. Atlas which provides some good reasons for including the various regions in the RF for the time being (for example, Russia’s domestic laws affect the situation since it allows much more flexibility to defend territory which is, at least internally, considered part of Russia)
