Vladimir Zelensky responded to Vladimir Putin regarding the participation of Ukrainians in elections on Russian territory:
Putin not only controls elections in Russia, but now he would like to control electoral processes in Ukraine as well.
“We will not agree to let anyone control us,” he added 🗳️.
Earlier, Putin said:
❗️UKRAINIAN AUTHORITIES COULD HOLD ELECTIONS WITHOUT A CEASEFIRE, PUTIN SAID.
WE ARE READY TO REFRAIN FROM STRIKES DEEP INSIDE UKRAINIAN TERRITORY FOR THE DURATION OF THE ELECTIONS.
RUSSIA WILL DEMAND THAT UKRAINIANS LIVING ON RUSSIAN TERRITORY BE ABLE TO VOTE IN RUSSIA.
According to various estimates, between 5 and 10 million Ukrainian citizens live in Russia. We believe they should have the right to vote.
“We hear statements from the leaders of the regime insisting that Western countries and the United States ensure security during the election period — that is, achieve a cessation of hostilities. What I would like to point out is that we held elections ourselves — presidential, municipal, and regional. And who ensured security for us? On the contrary, there were attempts to disrupt them,” Putin said ⚡️.
