Today the separatist people in the East are choosing to hold a referendum on secession from Ukraine. Last week Putin asked these separatists to hold off on the referendum until after the elections. They chose to proceed. So who do we believe this time? Did Putin make a public statement that he reversed in private orders? Did the people truly go off on their own? Who will count the votes? And who will be allowed to vote? What will a vote mean? Those counting will claim huge turnout and clear results. If no one but Putin believes it, will he still step in?
The events of the past few days which resulted in violent clashes in Odessa and the East were truly worrisome. People killing their own. Propaganda dividing those that have been living side by side for generations. Why did Putin have to butt in? Look what he has created now? Total instability is not good for anyone, not even for Russia.
God help us all.
