If you're going to lie, at least make it a believeable lie. No, no sane person believes that the "referenda" for inclusion into Russia got 97-98% support, especially when pre-war surveys showed no more than 20% support for political union with Russia in any district of Ukraine. Certainly shelling people's homes, schools, hospitals, and churches didn't win 80% more support than was previously the case, and reputable sources note that voting is not by secret ballot, and is often in the presence of armed Russian soldiers. Putinozhka delenda est!
In related news, in addition to the tens of thousands of Russian men who have fled to Georgia, Finland, Sweden, and other countries, 98 thousand Russians (apparently mostly young men of draftable age) have fled to Kazakhstan. Let's just say that the Russian response to Putin's draft resembles the U.S. response to Vietnam era drafts a lot more than it resembles the response during WW1 and WW2, or even Korea. Going way out on a limb (right by the trunk), it suggests that the claims of high support for Putin's war are "bovine scat."
Pro Tip for those Russian men unable to flee; "Lake Como, Italy."
