Ukraine’s “Pseudo-Referendums” Organized by Russia Must Be Denounced by the World, says Volodymyr Zelensky

As Kremlin proxies started voting on annexation by Russia in Moscow-held regions of Ukraine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged the world to denounce “pseudo-referendums.”

In his daily speech to the nation, Zelensky predicted that pseudo-referendums would get an unequivocal condemnation from the world.

Donetsk and Lugansk in the east, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia in the south, and other regions of Ukraine that are entirely or largely under Russian control, are holding elections to decide whether or not to become part of the Russian Federation.

Kyiv and its friends in the West have denounced the votes as a “sham.”
