Ukraine-News: Ukraine threatens attacks on the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea

The US government assumes that Russia wants to annex more areas of Ukraine. The model is the action on the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea in 2014, says Communications Director of the National Security Council in the White House, John Kirby. Intelligence information indicated that Russia “sham referendums” want to hold. According to Kirby, Russian bank branches are to be set up in the affected regions in order to introduce the ruble as a currency there.

Internet access should also be checked. Moscow also wants to force people to apply for Russian citizenship. “The Kremlin has not announced the schedule for the referendums, but Russian officials in those areas claim they will take place later this year, possibly in conjunction with September’s Russian regional elections,” Kirby said. For example, the areas mentioned as affected regions Kherson, Zaporizhia and the entire Luhansk and Donetsk regions.

The Kremlin has not yet confirmed such plans. However, the administrations deployed by Russia in the occupied territories have repeatedly stated that they want to hold referendums on accession to Russia.
