On 30 September, Russia plans to stage protests outside the embassies of Ukraine’s partner countries in Moscow. The pretext is to be the anniversary of the fake referendum organised by the occupiers in seized Ukrainian territory.
LB was told this by sources in Ukrainian military intelligence. According to the information obtained, the protests are being prepared outside the embassies of the United States, the United Kingdom, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Estonia, the Czech Republic, Spain, Italy, Romania, Germany, France and Norway.
Participation is planned at 150 people per embassy — 1,950 in total. The organisers will be the “Young Guard of United Russia” and the “Volunteer Company of the Combat Brotherhood”. They will prepare flags with slogans such as “Donbas/Luhansk with Russia forever”, to emphasise the population’s “peaceful choice”, and “Your weapons kill children”, along with other similar messages.
Outside the US embassy, they want to unfurl the flag of the terrorist “DPR”, and outside the UK embassy — the “LPR”.
The protests have been approved by the presidential administration. Their aim is to mark “reunification” with Russia — as Moscow describes the occupation — of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, parts of which have been seized since 2014, as well as Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, partially seized during the full-scale war.
- On 27 September 2022, Russia organised sham referendums in the occupied parts of Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Luhansk and Donetsk regions. It needed this in order to illegally write sovereign Ukrainian territories into its constitution.
