Russian public observers are brought to sham elections in temporarily occupied territories

This is reported by the Center for National Resistance.

"The Russian "elections" are a farce and a propaganda imitation, where the result and even the turnout are known in advance. One of the main roles in this performance is played by observers who were forced by the Russians to be brought to the temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories from the Russian Federation, because the locals refuse to participate in this show," the article says.

It is reported that under Russian law, there are public observers who have the right to be called such only if they are members of the Public Chamber, an advisory body controlled by Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, as he and the governors he appoints approve the chamber's leadership.

It is the so-called public observers from Russia who will monitor the sham elections in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine, as the local chambers established by the enemy occupiers did not find enough volunteers.

The Resistance calls on Ukrainians to ignore the 'elections' and not to participate in the propaganda play.

What is known about elections in the temporarily occupied territories

On August 31, the Russian forces began holding so-called elections to pseudo-local councils and "legislative bodies" in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

On August 29, Ukrainian partisans in the temporarily occupied Nova Kakhovka destroyed the election regional headquarters of United Russia.

Also, the Security Service of Ukraine targeted collaborators who were going to hold sham elections in the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia region with drones. 

In addition, the Security Service has identified more than 3,500 collaborators and their Russian "curators" involved in the organization of illegal voting in the temporarily occupied territories of Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

European Commission spokesperson Peter Stano issued a statement condemning Russia's "elections" in the occupied territories of Ukraine.

Using UAVs, the Defense Forces distributed leaflets over the temporarily occupied territories calling for ignoring the Russian sham elections, which are to officially begin on September 8.
