Meanwhile in the real world we have an American reporter on the ground, with actual footage, showing how relieved and happy these people are leaving the corrupt government currently ruling Ukraine

Crimea held their referendum in 2014 and requested Russia absorb them. That was 8 years ago. If that vote were bogus, we would have heard of widespread resistance sabotage since then.
I have heard nothing.
The best answer for why is the vote was correct and the vast majority prefer Russia.
Looking at the maps of Russian language prominence, Kherson is less overwhelming than the other oblasts. If there are going to be folks who do not prefer Russia, it would be there, and I think the referendum vote there did show lower numbers than the other 3 regions. Something like 75% vs 90+%.

🌎International observers: the referendum in the DPR passes without violations
đź“ŤToday, on September 26, international observers visited the voting stations for the referendum on the joining of the Donetsk People’s Republic to Russia.
✔️In particular, the delegation included public activist, managing director of the portal Weltnetz TV Artur Leier (Germany), President of the Association «Observatorio Hispano-Ruso de Eurasia» Fernando Moragon (Spain), independent journalist, war correspondent William Parra (Colombia), public activist and coordinator of the Immortal Regiment of Montenegro movement Igor Damjanovic (Montenegro), political analyst and founder of the Stratpol Center for Political and Strategic Analysis Xavier Moreau (France).
đź“ťAs part of their visit, foreign representatives observed the holding of the referendum at the exit polling stations in Torez, Enakievo and Debaltsevo. Foreign experts noted that no violations of the voting procedure were found, all voting stages are transparent and democratic.
âś…Also, foreign observers talked with local residents, noting the importance of their ability to choose their future on their own.
It should be noted that earlier, representatives of Italy, Germany, South Africa, Togo, Venezuela and Romania acted as international observers of the voting process of the DPR residents in the referendum.
No violations of the regulations were observed. Mexican observer Israel Gomez Arconada on the referendum. He noted the transparency of the procedure, the absence of pressure or coercion to vote. ⚔️⚔️⚔️
One important thing to note… the West isn’t just threatening Russia over the referendums held in the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye.
They’re also going after international election observers who are on the ground, giving their honest reports on how the referendums are held…
The EU is now threatening to sanction anyone they deem as “obviously linked” to the referendums.
“There would be consequences for all people, who participate in the illegal, illegitimate referendums,” a spokesperson for the EU Foreign Policy Chief said. (https://bit.ly/3Rj2RBJ)
The attacks on observers have already begun, as CNN noted that Stefan Schaller, a manager at Energie Waldeck-Frankenberg, was just fired from his job and accused of clearly violating “the world view, the moral values and the philosophy of the company.” (https://cnn.it/3xZCbzb)
That’s after the German observer said residents were NOT being forced to vote at gunpoint…
Foreign observers at referendums to be put on wanted list - Kiev
Kiev said that foreign observers who monitored the referendums in the liberated regions will be put on an “international wanted list” by the police.

KIEV’S VIOLATIONS: are the only infringement on Russia’s referendum (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/5700?single), as Kiev bombs school used for voting in Kherson region, South Ukraine, trying their best to DISRUPT votes they call a “SHAM”, DESPITE International observers (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/5532), CONFIRMING its legitimacy.
Is this one of those pass-through deals, where we all support yahoo and then go to the actual article?
Similar to the ‘ethic cleansing’ in the Balkans throughout the 1990s.
Turms out to my surprise that some civilians in the north of Zaporizhzhia have tried to go into occupied areas.
I say “tried” - paranoid Russia shelled them. Yep - they actually shelled people going to join or provide support to the occupied region.

Hearts and minds. The only people welcome in occupied areas are Russian soldiers and paid collaborators. Everyone else is either a prisoner or a target.
Russia is not going to stop with the Ukraine, other Countries are to be annexed.
