Melinda Simmons noted that the occupiers do not even need actual voting to obtain their "results" - they will announce the ones they need.

The world community is not going to recognize the sham russian referendums held in the temporarily occupied territories of Kherson, Zaporizhzhya, Luhansk and Donetsk regions.

British Ambassador to Ukraine Melinda Simmons noted that the "results" of this pseudo-voting are obvious in advance. “There will be results publicised of something that didn’t happen. I wonder whether anyone will even be called to vote. They won’t need to. The outcome is almost certainly already decided,” CNN cites her words.

The Swiss Federal Council condemned the sham referendums. ''The referendums currently taking place in Ukrainian territories partially occupied by russia do not conform with the law and are illegal under international law,'' the statement said.

They added that the Council "will not recognize the results of any of these sham referendums".

NATO also expressed its strong condemnation of the so-called referendums on the illegal annexation of Ukrainian territory to the russian federation.

"Allies do not and will never recognize russia’s illegal and illegitimate annexation of Crimea. Sham referenda in the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhya, and Kherson regions of Ukraine have no legitimacy and will be a blatant violation of the UN Charter. NATO Allies will not recognize their illegal and illegitimate annexation,” the message states.

Today is the first day when the occupants force Ukrainians to participate in fake polls on the "accession" of the temporarily occupied territories to the russian federation. They plan to do this until 27 September.

The authorities urge Ukrainians not to open the doors, as the occupants break into the houses accompanied by armed soldiers to conduct "voting".

Ukraine will liberate all its territories, and the results of sham referendums will not be recognized.
