[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what will be the response now that Russia announced the referendums to annex parts of Ukraine?

I am the one who asked the question. It’s genuine. Are there going to be any more sanctions, the terrible horrible awful sanctions? 
Putin didn’t give the anticipated address to the nation. The new laws of the past couple days make it easier to mobilize people but it doesn’t make sense to do it on a large scale - only to make sure those already recruited don’t desert. 
I would like to know if it further affects everyday people - be it their ability to fly in and out of the country or buy some goods that were still being imported.
And also what it means in terms of further military actions.

One of the gossip streams circulating in Russia is that the referendum idea was heavily pushed by the provinces themselves for this reason: they are afraid of what Ukraine may do to them if and when this area is reconquered.  A good chunk of the population did not really object to being a part of Russia, and they are afraid of being branded collaborationists and given to the special police. [/quote]
