Referendums have been held in the occupied areas of the country for several days and should end today.

Ukraine and the West say the result has already been decided by the Kremlin and will be used as an excuse to illegally appropriate the territories.

"Russian leaders almost certainly hope that any announcement of accession will be seen as a justification for a 'special military operation' and consolidate patriotic support for the conflict," the Defense Ministry said.

But it added that this hope "is likely to be undermined by growing domestic awareness of Russia's recent battlefield setbacks and considerable Russian anger over the partial mobilization."
