VIDEO: Russia Mobilizes, Referendums Underway: What Will Change and Why?

Ukraine and its Western allies are claiming that the referendums underway in Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and the Luhansk and Donetsk autonomous regions – are illegitimate, and that residents are somehow being forced to ‘vote under the barrel of Putin’s guns.’ But despite westrn protestations, the reality on the ground is something completely different. 

• Russia to mobilize 300,000 in addition to 150,000 already involved in operations in Ukraine;
• Russian Ministry of Defense announces nearly 6,000 Russian dead, 61,000 Ukrainian dead plus another 49,000 Ukrainians injured;
• Russian MoD claims Ukraine has mobilized 300,000 itself, losing 100,000 meaning it now faces some 450,000 Russian forces in the coming weeks and months;
• Referendums in Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, and Lugansk to join the Russian Federation means future operations will significantly expand in intensity, quantity, and quality;
• This major escalation follows two very expensive offensives launched by Ukraine in what appears to have been an “all or nothing” move.
