250 thousand Ukrainian ballots were spoiled by the phrase "For Putin!"

4
Nearly 250 thousand ballots in the presidential elections in Ukraine on March 31 were spoiled by voters. Such information was shared by the CEC. All of them contained inscriptions in support of Russian President Vladimir Putin, and therefore were invalidated.





According to the head of the Central Election Commission of Ukraine Tatyana Slipachuk, spoiling the ballots is not an act of protest, but a direct insult to the CEC, the current government and ordinary Ukrainians.

This is disrespect for the employees of the printing plant, who printed forms day and night. This is rudeness to the employees of our CEC, who counted the votes

- said Slipachuk.


The ballots were produced at the expense of state funds, the head of the Central Election Commission recalled. She called this act of protest of citizens "damage to our money with you."

Tatyana Slipachuk also recalled that photographing election forms is a violation of the Presidential Election Law of Ukraine.

It should be noted that the attempts of the CEC to rebuke citizens in spoiling the ballots look extremely ridiculous. It is the current government that has brought the inhabitants of Ukraine to the point that hundreds of thousands prefer to see Vladimir Putin as president. Although in fact there are significantly more such citizens.

    Interesting news. This is probably a unique case in the history of democratic elections. A quarter of a million votes for the president of a foreign country.
    And now we will spread our brains.

    Shtirlitsu hit a bullet in the head.
    “Bursting,” Stirlitz threw out his brains.

    As I was often told that the people in Ukraine are mostly for Russia. It's just that in conditions of terror, not everyone has the courage to say this. I readily believe. I'm not a hero myself. But it doesn't take much courage and heroism to go to the polling station and anonymously in a closed booth to cross out all candidates (not even to enter Putin). Out of 28 million ballots, 18 million voted. Roughly speaking, 10 million are sitting in their "hut on the edge". If the number of spoiled ballots was 1-2 million, it would be significant. 250 thousand is a considerable figure. But she shows me that the majority in Ukraine is for Ukraine. And they will not greet Russian liberators with any flowers.

      Ukraine is, first of all, fun, given the complete rupture of economic and military cooperation. It is much more interesting to brainstorm over our internal political situation - who will be elected to the Duma in 2021? Puppets "Kolomoisky" (read - our oligarchs and aged young reformers), or a real opposition?

    Wow, Slepachuk somehow justified himself to his superiors in Kiev that in the election commissions, in the field, the officers did not check the voters demonstrations of civil protest against the current junting authorities of Kiev in Ukraine!
    In this regard, Tatiana Slepachuk is better to present herself as a biased and sophisticated "fool" in front of the people than to be disloyal to the existing Russophobic authorities of the current Nazi system in Ukraine in the eyes of her superiors.
