Yevgeny Balytskyi, the so-called head of the interim administration of the Zaporizhia region, said that he had signed an order to start preparations for a "referendum" on "joining" Russia, although he did not say when that would happen.
"I am signing the order of the Central Election Commission... on the start and preparation of a referendum on the reunification of the Zaporizhzhia region with the Russian Federation," - Balytskyi.
Recall that yesterday, President Volodymyr Zelenskyi said that in case of pseudo-referendums in the occupied territories of southern Ukraine, the Russian Federation will close any possibility of negotiations with our state.
