A whooping 98% of voters chose annexation, with just 302,000 Ukrainians opposing it. After the Neo-USSR's Central Election Commission certified the results, the Supreme Soviet near-unanimously voted for Ukraine to join the Neo-USSR. Lev Rokhlin then announced Ukraine's annexation in a televised speech.
The referendum was almost completely unrecognized by the international community, which condemned it as a sham and continued to recognize the Ukrainian government-in-exile headquartered in Brussels. Nataliya Vitrenko, the leader of the Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine, criticized the western powers for this.
Someone reported this as hate speech. It's not. I absolutely do not wish Russia actually annexed Ukraine.
How charitable, the soviets would've made the results 99 % but decided to give the Ukranians another 1% opposition.

I do not support colonialism towards Ukraine or any other country. This is an alternate history.
Very rarely is Russian occupation of eastern Europe portrayed as positive in alt history scenarios.
even in this scenario, it's shown as a fabrication of a vote
This seems pretty obviously shown as not very good
