Quote: "The occupiers used the premises of the village council as a base for holding a so-called "referendum". Law enforcement officers found a large batch of children's military-style children’s clothing among the campaign materials.
These clothes were copies of the uniform of the Russian invaders and were intended for local residents as an encouragement to come and vote in the sham referendum.
The Russians also attempted to bribe Ukrainians with free food.
However, when the enemy realised that local residents were avoiding participating in the sham referendum, they resorted to threats and fraud."
Details: According to the SSU, [the Russians], having persuaded several collaborators to cooperate, provided them with two armed Russian soldiers and went on a door-to-door campaign. If people did not open the door, the occupiers still counted all those registered at the address as votes "in favour" [of joining Russia - ed.].
It should be noted that the Security Service of Ukraine has already documented these crimes and received lists, identification data and all the necessary information on each collaborator, and promises to punish those involved.
