The authorities of Abkhazia pay attention and respect to the will of the residents of the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions in referendums, consider their holding as disagreement with the policy of Ukraine. This was announced on Wednesday, September 28, by Foreign Minister of Abkhazia Inal Ardzinba in an interview “RIA News”.
“On behalf of the head of state Aslan Georgievich Bzhaniya, we are closely monitoring the situation. We treat the position of people with attention and respect, this is their initiative, (people. – Ed.) who live there, people who do not agree with the principles of policy formation in Ukraine, with in fact obvious and serious manifestations of neo-Nazi aspirations that are obvious today in Ukraine. We see this as people’s disagreement with this policy,” Ardzinba said.
On September 27, the referenda on reunification with the Russian Federation ended. In the Zaporozhye region, 93.11% of the inhabitants voted for joining Russia, in the Kherson region – 87.05%, in the LPR – 98.42%, in the DPR – 99.23%.
Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said that the entry of Donbass into Russia will bring peace to the population of these territories. He noted that the referendums were held transparently, in compliance with all electoral norms. At the same time, he called statements that people were allegedly forced to vote in referendums propaganda.
At the same time, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky during a meeting of the UN Security Council on the night of September 28 said that Kyiv would have nothing more to talk about with Russian President Vladimir Putin if Moscow recognized the results of the referendums.
At the end of the referenda, the heads of the republics of Donbass, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions will go to Moscow to convey to Russian President Vladimir Putin an appeal to join the regions to Russia.
At the same time, as the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov said, the Kremlin will inform the Kremlin in a timely manner about the date of the admission of the republics of Donbass, as well as the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions to Russia. According to him, this will be preceded by a certain procedure.
On February 24, Russia launched a special operation to protect Donbass. The decision was made against the backdrop of the aggravated situation in the region due to increased shelling by Ukrainian troops.
