Details
"A Molotov cocktail was thrown at a polling station in St. Petersburg," Russian Telegram channels report.
It is noted that the incendiary mixture was thrown by a man. Details of the incident are currently being established.
Also in Moscow, a woman set fire to a voting booth. Judging by the video published by Russian Telegram channels, she poured flammable liquid on it, set it on fire and immediately started filming everything on her phone.
In addition, in Moscow, a girl poured green paint on a ballot box, shouting pro-Ukrainian slogans. A similar incident occurred today in Borisoglebsk, Voronezh region. There, a woman came to a polling station in the Southeast neighborhood and poured brilliant green into a ballot box during the voting.
Recall
Ukraine does not recognize the presidential elections in Russia in 2024, calling them a "farce" and stating that Russia has not had free and fair elections for a long time, as the electoral process is regularly interfered with and favors pro-government candidates.
The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine called the statement of the head of Russia's Rostelecom about cyberwar against Ukrainian intelligence a clumsy attempt to legitimize illegal elections and justify Putin's rule.
