Referendum on the accession of the DPR to the Russian Federation

The Donetsk People's Republic will hold a referendum on joining Russia, said the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin.

“As for our main efforts, they are now aimed at the complete liberation of the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic.

As soon as it is released within the constitutional boundaries, we will very quickly find out the date of the referendum, ”RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.

Earlier it was reported that the issue of joining the Russian Federation will also be put to a vote in Zaporozhye and Kherson regions.

On August 8, the head of the military-civilian administration of the Zaporozhye region, Evgeny Balitsky, signed an order to hold a referendum on the reunification of the region with Russia.

In turn, Vladimir Rogov, a member of the main council of the administration of the Zaporozhye region, said that the region was “leaving forever” from Ukraine.

At the same time, the Kremlin emphasized that the residents themselves want to hold referendums in the liberated Ukrainian territories.

Ukrainian military burn the bodies of their colleagues

Burnt bodies of Ukrainian soldiers were found near the city of Soledar in the Donetsk People's Republic.

This was reported by the fighters of the reconnaissance battalion of the People's Militia of the Lugansk People's Republic after a reconnaissance exit.

According to them, the bodies of the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine lay next to the craters from the explosions of artillery shells.

Presumably, the Ukrainian servicemen doused the bodies of their colleagues with fuel and set them on fire during the retreat, RIA Novosti reports.

Scouts believe that these could be the remains of foreign mercenaries who fought on the side of the Kyiv regime, but they burned them to make identification difficult.

“The idea of ​​separating Crimea from Russia is steadily leading to the complete collapse of Ukrainian statehood”

The idea of ​​separating the Crimean peninsula from Russia will lead to the complete collapse of Ukraine, said Georgy Muradov, Permanent Representative of Crimea to the President of Russia, Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of the Republic.

“The maniacal dependence of the Kyiv regime on the idea of ​​tearing Crimea away from Russia, introduced by Washington into its clouded consciousness, is steadily leading to the complete collapse of Ukrainian statehood.

Moscow has repeatedly warned about the perniciousness of this line, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.

At the same time, according to him, "American puppeteers" also cannot accept the fact that they have lost hopes for the appearance of their own naval base in Sevastopol.

“It is obvious that the world community, except for a pack of neo-colonies controlled by the same Washington, has not been interested in this topic for a long time.

And many in Russia and in the world, not without reason, believe that an attempt to revive the idea of ​​“de-occupation of Crimea” will add fuel to the fire of the Ukrainian crisis and put the world on the brink of a full-scale war,” Muradov added.

Earlier, Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Volodymyr Gavrilov said that Kyiv was preparing to sink the Black Sea Fleet with the help of Western weapons and occupy Crimea.

The Kremlin noted that such statements indicate the correctness of Moscow's actions to launch a special military operation.

In turn, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia Dmitry Medvedev noted that in the event of an attack on the Crimea, Ukrainian politicians will face a “judgment day”.
