Russians raided homes and threatened people with weapons to force them to vote in the illegal "presidential elections of the Russian Federation" in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

Russian occupants raided houses and told people at gunpoint who to vote for in the so-called illegal "presidential elections". This was reported on Monday by the Center of National Resistance, UNN reports. 

The propaganda play called "Russian presidential elections" has ended in the temporarily occupied territories. The enemy tried to force Ukrainians to participate in this farce at any cost

- the CNS said in a statement.

For three days, Russians reportedly stopped Ukrainians at checkpoints and demanded that they "vote," all under the supervision of machine gunners who even pointed out where to put a tick.

The occupiers also raided houses, trying to find out information about local residents who ignored the "elections".

In particular, according to the CNS, there were cases when Russians tried to get into the house two and three times if the door was not opened.  

The scheme for organizing the rounds was as follows: buses transported about 20 collaborators, who were given plastic bins. The buses were accompanied by two police cars. Upon exiting the bus, the roundup groups were formed:  two civilians and one military, and the raid began

- said the CNS.

First of all, they went to those who voted in the pseudo-referendum and "local elections" to get the relevant lists. 

At the same time, collaborators from the "election commissions" recorded who exactly voted and formed a separate list of "disloyal residents" who avoided "voting.

The Center for National Resistance noted that "every traitor is known to the Defense Forces and will be held accountable for participating in this farce.

In the temporarily occupied territories of Luhansk region in Severodonetsk, four-day early "voting" in the Russian "elections" lasted a week, and the "luhansk people's republic" fell 9.5% short of the record turnout.
