So they're holding elections in those regions , does this mean the war (this phase anyway) is coming to an end?

It feels like putin is calling it a day due to his numerous fuckups.

Scum, saying they should get the 1 million unemployed of Moscow and make them go to war instead of people with jobs ect.

So what happened to the rest of their soldiers ? Why do they even need a mobilization from the local populace ?

Its just a step so he can "officially" up his game to full mobilisation. when Ukraine continue to advance he will call it a direct attack on Russia.

I wonder how many outside Russia will recognise it as a direct attack on Russia?

Probably Syria, North Korea and Iran, but obviously they don't count.

I wonder what China will say?

Anyway, I've recently held a referendum in Moscow and it appears hat 83.251% (*) of residents have voted to annex the region from Russia.

(*) = If you're going to make statistics up, make sure they're exact.

Never thought I'd say this, but Dmitry Medvedev has probably overtaken Lavrov in the "talking bollocks/needs to go" stakes. Hope he's on the list of war criminals when this is all over.

I think it's more the case of what the russian people will say. Putin will now be able to say Russia itself is being attacked by nato.

I have no idea if Ukraine would accept donbass just being taken like crimea was but they may just do that, it's been a thorn in their side for years.

Then Ukraine can join NATO, fuck all Russia can do then. They've brought that on themselves.

Depends how quickly NATO can move. If Ukraine decided to give up areas like Crimea and Donbas and then within a very short order joined NATO or got NATO security assurances with those set borders its a done deal.

I cant see it happening but its doable if a full official cease fire is agreed with those solid borders.
