“ It would be like the British Government ordering a referendum in the Irish Republic on re-alignment with the UK”

It’s not even that sensible ;-)
It’s like holding a referendum in the Bogsude in Derry when most of the catholics had fled. With ballot papers being distributed to serving British troops, to residents of the loyalist Fountain enclave and with rioting still ongoing.
So what I’m really getting at is: there are two reasons to do this: one is to stir up patriotism for the war at home claiming that annexed Ukraine is now Russia and is being attacked by the west.
The other is to threaten to use nuclear weapons to defend them.
The first plan isn’t going too well by all accounts.
The second would be problematic to justify given these are grey areas anyway.
If Putin wants to use nuclear weapons he’ll do it anyway.
It would be the end of him tho
It's ridiculous that the legitimacy of the 'referendum' is even being discussed.

Putin needs to go.

Good place to put this war protest viddie
truly remarkable feat of identification
Very impressive. These days there are fewer places for these people to hide.
Other than, in Russia’s case, behind a thoroughly corrupt system.
Meanwhile Russian lines in Donetsk close to collapse, as Sergey Lavrov mistakes Luhansk for Laos and mixes Kharkiv up with Kherson.
His body language screams: “my heart isn’t in this”
Now we take bets on who departs first; Putin or Khamanei.
If the US has already spent $25b in supporting Ukraine the West is already at war with Russia. That's the scary thing.
