Here, have a walkthrough of it from Russia’s TV pundits, as they now admit openly on air that this vote in Zaporizhzhia was a fiction and a fantasy.

Listen from 45 seconds in - people who talk like you do are described as “dreamers”.
You were punked by the most pathetic propaganda. Do wake up, it’s bad enough you believed this implausible bullshit 3 days ago but if you still believe it today you need to have your proper cutlery replaced with plastic sporks.
The vote in Zaporizhzhia was a fake.
Reality 201: the annexation vote in Zaporizhzhia was a pathetic hail mary from a tiny occupation power that basically had one important city, a couple of hundred peasant settlements and at best 100,000 people under its thumb. They had no chance ever of controlling the vast population living freely in Ukrainian held Zaporizhzhia city.
So facing a no win situation they conducted a declaration based on a pitiful yes tally of a pitifully low turnout.
So stupid and desperate are the occupiers that they thought maybe 35 thousand votes - propped up with blanks being stuffed into the Yes pile (live on Russian tv! - https://youtu.be/JEZ_uZr2a9o) and hope 710,000 Russians and Ukrainians in Zaporizhzhia city would lose all hope, expect prompt annihilation by Russia if they continued to resist... and just surrender.
Anyone with two braincells to rub together could see this would only work if Russia resorted to WMDs. Biological, chemical, thermobaric, or nuclear.
Even the armchair generals in Russia realised that a mobilization of 300,000 WELL TRAINED AND WELL MOTIVATED Russian troops would be needed, stat, for it to succeed in any other way.
Putin signed the paperwork on Friday but so far he’s basically delivered a bunch of pensioners and drunks with one day of training, ordered troops with no backup and few resources to hold their positions, and buggered off.
Pushilin’s DNR office has already been captured and repurposed for the liberation, 24 hours after Russia declared that city part of Russia.
All the cowardly separatists and their impotent Russian backup Dad’s Army can do in Zaporizhzhia Oblast is shell civilian houses and civilian car convoys (including people who are neutral in the fight, or trying to help their people in the occupied region).
The orcs are both unwilling and unable to attack targets that can shoot back. The more they hit unarmed civilians, the more the Russian Ukrainian population in uke held territory wakes up to who the real fascists are.
Putin’s not going to help them. Friday’s signing ceremony was a joke. Watch it again, and look at Kadyrov’s face. He looks totally disgusted. He knows the ehole thing is Kabuki.
That neo-Nazi use of “orcs”.....
And another FR member comes out of the closet to show their true neo-Nazi colors.
That makes two today so far.....
For the more enlightened among us, the Orcs are Yorkshire County Cricket Club.
Tolkien explained that nothing in Middle-earth was inherently evil, not even the Orcs. The orc armies were created through brainwashing, corruption, and torture of good peoples. And, the rank and file were slaves and conscripts, who hated their commanders, hated their servitude, and distrusted each other... but when united they fought ferociously, and were brutal.
The word comes from ‘orcneas’ in Beowulf but was adapted by Tolkien. It perfectly describes the Russian AND the Nazi armies as well as any other that is defined by brainwashing and brutal tactics.
Tolkien also used the corruption of elves, men and even Smeagol as metaphors for the way war changes people. And, he drew on experiences of all sides that fought in World War One.
Orcs are victims as well as villains. This theme would be familiar to you if you understood allegory, morality plays, tragedies, and melodrama.
Reality isn’t binary good versus evil. It’s a continuum.
Victim becomes savior.
Villain becomes victim.
Savior becomes villain.
Good job adding a show of TOTAL illiteracy as well as gullibility and pro-fascist brainwashing to your list of advertised qualities.
The “orcs” in Tolkien were symbolic of ... who exactly?
Yet another prepper ping.
“They were Elves once, taken by the dark powers, tortured and mutilated, a terrible, ruined form of life.” - Saruman.
” Orcs loathed the Master whom they served in fear.” - from The Silmarillion
They are fascinated by machinery and weapons. They follow strong leaders but never fully trust them. They are proficient miners and engineers. They can be careerists and opportunists, working “to rule” as much as possible.
Orcs are in many respects the product of indoctrination, subordination, brutalisation and propaganda, but inherent in it is an enthusiasm for war The SS were orcs, the Banderites were orcs, and the Chechen Kadyrovites are orcs. Patten was an orc, according to the opinions of some of the other Allied commanders.
Who’s not an orc? Any Russkie or a Uke in the combat zone who is fighting for their family and community rather than a cause, and who doesn’t think killing or torturing defenceless civilians is a legitimate war aim.
A wise man once said “war is hell”. If only Joe Biden had used his superpowers for good to prevent this war. Maybe he can send Hunter there to negotiate a peace, instead of trying to negotiate a piece (with 10% for the Bug Guy).
bad Russian photoshopping job
try to do better next time with your desperate Putin propaganda
LOL
Ukraine has suffered “scorched Earth” like few places.
“It is sick that they killed the animals just to starve the people”
It’s called Scorched Earth, the Russian method of making war. When advancing kill everyone that opposes you. When withdrawing leave nothing of use intact.
They did it to Napoleon.
They did it to Hitler.
They’ll do it to anyone.
It works.
Reminds me of what Sherman and his superiors did to southern civilians when they levied war against the states . . . and later to native Americans.
Don’t worry, Jo Jo the Pedo will by everybody a Happy Meal.
Wow a toe head seldom see one in American
An evil savage of a man who will be Judged by a Holy God and found guilty.
That man is absolute evil!
Seems to me there would be massive evidence if this actually happened. I realize I’m employing logic instead of emotions to the situation in Ukraine. Therefore I must be a Russian stooge. 🤣
“Before Sheridan joined Cody and the New Yorkers on the hunt, and before he oversaw the relocation of Native Americans on the plains, he was a major general for the Union during the Civil War. It was there he learned the power of destroying enemy resources. He'd used the same scorched-earth strategy that William Tecumseh Sherman, then a major general, used in his March to the Sea, tearing up railroad ties, toppling telegraph poles, and lighting nearly all of Atlanta and anything an infantryman could digest ablaze. After the war, President Grant asked Sherman and Sheridan to command armies in the Great Plains.”
“One colonel, four years earlier, had told a wealthy hunter who felt a shiver of guilt after he shot 30 bulls in one trip: “Kill every buffalo you can! Every buffalo dead is an Indian gone.””
