The only goal of the Ukrainian armed formations that shell the territories of the LPR, DPR and other liberated territories is to disrupt the will of the people, sow panic so that people do not go to the polls, former UN Deputy Secretary General Sergei Ordzhonikidze told Izvestia
“These elections are fateful, because they decide the fate of the entire people, which will finally be delivered from humiliation, from destruction. Kyiv is trying to thwart this and prevent the republics from gaining independence and, as they themselves have already announced, in order to become part of Russia. It’s not that Kyiv doesn’t even like it – this is, in fact, a sentence for him, ”the diplomat explained.
