Kherson referendum vote - What's your prediction?

[ck4829]

The occupied areas around the city of Kherson -- the first to be taken by advancing Russian forces in the opening days of the war -- have been terrorized in the past week by both the advancing second phase of Moscow's offensive, but also fears of a referendum on Wednesday.

Ukraine has said Russia plans to hold a vote in the region -- widely viewed there as a sham referendum -- to try to show popular support for the creation of a new entity called the Kherson People's Republic, which would mirror similar entities in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region. (Moscow sent in troops to the self-declared republics -- and began its war in Ukraine -- after Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized their independence.)

4. Russia will allow a small percentage of disagreement to pretend the vote is valid.

But it doesn't matter if anyone votes or not. The outcome was decided by Russia as soon as their troops were able to patrol the streets.
