Oleksiy Reznikov, the head of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, said that Russia is covering up its aggressive intentions in Ukraine with talk about "referendums", but any "documents" of the occupying power will have legal status only in the tribunal where Russian war criminals will be judged.

He wrote about this on Saturday, September 24, on Twitter.

"All this chatter about "referendums" is profanation.

Russia planned to take as much as it could.

And we will drive them out of our land," the Ukrainian Defense Minister wrote. 

The minister illustrated his post with a well-known stamp with the cruiser "Moscow" and a school certificate from the city of Izyum, Kharkiv region, issued by the Russian occupiers.

"Documents of the occupiers, like this school certificate from Izyum, Kharkiv region, have a legal status only in the tribunal," he emphasized.

We will remind, in the Luhansk region during the so-called "referendum" people are issued passports of the Russian Federation, and men are given summonses.
