In Kazakhstan, Finland, and Georgia, which are connected by land to Russia, there were long lines of people trying to escape coercion.
In Russia, as anti-war protests intensify, chaos is occurring everywhere.
In the midst of this, Russia entered a referendum asking for Russian annexation of four occupied territories in Ukraine.
A scene was also released where the pros and cons were clearly revealed in the transparent ballot box.
While the United States and other Western countries are protesting it as a ‘fake vote’, there is growing concern that nuclear war could follow after Russia annexes the territory.
After Russia, lost in the Ukrainian war, repeatedly mentioned about nuclear weapons, the world reacted urgently.

“The unthinkable nuclear conflict has become the subject of controversy. This in itself is completely unacceptable.”
The European Union has decided to impose an eighth sanction against Russia, saying that it cannot recognize Russia’s annexation vote.
Russia’s next move draws attention as pro-Russian countries that have been conspicuously neutral in the past have also joined the ranks of criticism.
