There is panic in Ukraine: the West will not be able to ignore Putin’s vote in Crimea
The possible arrival of Russian President Vladimir Putin to Crimea on March 18 caused panic among Ukrainian “human rights activists” who are trying to convince international organizations to ignore the presidential elections on the peninsula.
“Of course, the vote of the President of the Russian Federation will attract the attention of international media, and they will send their film crews, which will show the situation at unrecognized polling stations,” lamented the former chairman of the Committee of Voters of Ukraine, People’s Deputy Igor Popov, on his Facebook.
He proposes, through the organization Reporters Without Borders, to demand that foreign journalists either refuse to cover the elections in Crimea, or in their reports “emphasize the illegitimacy of such a vote.”
