At the same time, Fedosova believes that the risk of provocations remains.
“But this does not stop: people want to return home,” the analyst said.
She added that one of the factors that increases the level of turnout is the good organization of voting.
“There are still a few days ahead and, as a result, we can expect a very high turnout, which will be recorded, including by international observers, which will refute all attempts by Western politicians to present the vote as illegitimate,” the RT interlocutor concluded.
On the territory of the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, voting continues in referendums on the issue of joining Russia.
