Change of plans Kremlin-orchestrated ‘referendums’ on Donbas ‘republics’ joining Russia postponed until May
Kremlin's plan to arrange "referendums" in the Donbas to join Russia are postponed.... I wonder why. It seems many in the Kremlin don't want to officially annex parts of Ukraine, but Putin is pushing for it. Also political officers back? What is this? Commissars? Didn't they alreadly learn in WW2 that having Commissars was a bad idea, Stalin himself abandoned it. Though this seem to be more of an pseudo civilian administrator post meant to administer conquered regions than actually have power over the military.
