The publication notes that over the 25 years of Ukrainian independence, in addition to the embassy in Kiev and consulates in Kharkov, Odessa and Lvov, Russian elections were held a few times in cities with a population of more than half a million people, and this year Kyiv received notification only about voting on the territory of diplomatic missions .
“The problem, however, is that the official refusal to recognize the elections by default can also be interpreted as a refusal to ensure the safety of Russian citizens who will come to the embassy and consulates next Sunday,” RG emphasizes. – At least on social networks there are already calls to disrupt the vote by any means. Considering that Ukrainian law enforcement officers have repeatedly demonstrated their inability to prevent provocations at the embassy in Kyiv, the Rossotrudnichestvo office and the consulate in Lvov, the rampage of militants at these addresses is more than likely, since they have actually already received indulgence from the authorities.”
