Moscow, referendum for Donbass annexation must be held

(ANSA) - ROME, SEPTEMBER 20 - "The referendums in the Donbass are of great importance not only for the systemic protection of the residents of the Republic of Lugansk and Donetsk and other liberated territories, but also for the restoration of historical justice".

Thus the vice president of the Russian Security Council, Dmitri Medvedev, pushes on Telegram to hold the annexation referendums in the so-called pro-Russian separatist republics in Ukraine.

"The invasion of the territory of Russia is a crime that allows the use of all self-defense forces", he adds, explaining that for this reason the referendums "are so feared in Kiev and in the West" and "must be held".
