Aside from creating a pretense for a general mobilization in order to defend "Russian territory", this so-called "referendum" might also be used as justification for using nuclear weapons on the battlefield in occupied territories.

At least as justification for Russia's domestic audience, since Russia has officially stated it would only use nuclear weapons in order to defend it's own territory.

I still think the chance of nuclear weapons is off the table. Even if it was just a tactical nuke that would trigger article 5 if any radiation particles hit nato soil.

Putin orders Russian military industrial complex to immediately supply troops with munitions and analyse Western weapons

STANISLAV POHORILOV – MONDAY, 20 SEPTEMBER 2022, 15:25

Quote from Putin: "[Appropriate] organisations of the military industrial facilities must ensure the supply of the necessary weapons, equipment and munitions as soon as possible."


Details: At the same time, Putin stated he and representatives of the military industry would discuss the supply of arms specifically to the units located in Ukraine.


He also urged these officers to analyse the Western weapons used in Ukraine, although, in his opinion, Russian arms effectively "resist" them. "In support of the current regime in Kyiv, as you know, nearly all of the NATO stocks from their arsenals have been sent to Ukraine, which means that we should and will study these weapons, and [see] what is used against us," Putin said.


The Russian leader wants 100% import substitution in Russia’s defence sector, demanding to increase production capacity and shorten production time.
