“Now the leadership of the as yet unrecognized state is truly popular,” rejoices "KP". “And this was recorded by more than a hundred television cameras and dozens of observers.

“I have not recorded any violations,” the newspaper quotes French MEP Jean-Luc Chefhausen. – In fact, the government has legitimized itself. Just like in Ukraine after the coup. Unfortunately, one point of view dominates in the European Parliament. And I’m a former theologian, so I listen to all points of view.”
I have been an election observer for a long time, but never in my life have I seen such lines at polling stations. People waited in line for more than an hour. In Europe, a voter would not wait even five minutes - he would turn around and leave. In the last elections, I also did not see a single person who voted under pressure. And I believe that the result of the elections in the DPR will reflect the will of the people. I call on the European Union to recognize this expression of will,” quotes "RG" statement by the representative of the Association for Security and Cooperation in Europe (ABCE) Ewald Stadler at a press conference at the DPR Central Election Commission.
Let us recall that official Kyiv promises to recognize Western observers who were present at the elections in the DPR and LPR as persona non grata.
