The US has
intelligence reports that Russia intends to hold referendums on the creation of
the so-called "Kherson People's Republic", as well as on the
accession of the temporarily occupied territories in eastern Ukraine to the
Russian Federation.
Michael Carpenter, the US ambassador to the
Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, stated this at a briefing
at the US State Department, an Ukrinform correspondent reported.
The ambassador stated, citing recent
intelligence reports, that Russia will try to annex the so-called "Donetsk
People’s Republic" and "Luhansk People’s Republic".

“The reports state that Russia plans to
engineer referenda upon joining sometime in mid-May, and that Moscow is
considering a similar plan for Kherson,” he said.
According to the diplomat, the international
community, including the OSCE, where he represents the United States, clearly
stated that such referendums with fabricated voting results will not be
considered legitimate, as well as any attempts to annex another territory of
Ukraine.
