The Russian occupants intend to hold a so-called "referendum" on the creation of a "Kherson People's Republic" between May 1 and 10. They have already started printing ballots in Nova Kakhovka. This was reported on Facebook by ombudsman Lyudmila Denisova.
According to her, the occupants in Kherson intend to use the scheme, which was tested in Luhansk and Donetsk in 2014.
"According to witnesses, the printing house in the town of Nova Kakhovka is printing "ballots" for the "referendum". Apparently, all the protocols on the results of the 'vote' will be prepared in advance and brought to the regional center," she noted.
She also stressed that the "referendum" is planned to be held from May 1 to 10, 2022. During this period, the occupants intend to close Kherson to entry and exit and disconnect all communications.
