Putin urgently recalls Russian "political technologists" from two Ukraine regions

The Russian authorities have  "postponed" the holding of referendums on "joining" of the occupied Ukrainian territories to Russia after the successful offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kharkiv region.

The only reason for this decision is the successful counter-offensive of the Ukrainian troops in the direction of Kharkiv city, UNIAN reports on September 11 with reference to the Russian Meduza website.

Kremlin-linked political technologists who worked in Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhya regions have already been recalled to Russia. An order was made to go home, the report says.

There are still Russian "political technologists", who prepared the referendum, in the Kherson region.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces should have passed 50 kilometres in the Kharkiv region to reach the state border as of September 11.
