“All citizens who will take part in the organization of elections, work in election commissions in any form will be responsible to Ukraine. We will have all the information,” Gdanov said.
If citizens are forced to work in election commissions, he suggested contacting the fake SBU department for Crimea, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The former head of the Crimean branch of the Batkivshchyna party, Andrei Senchenko, clarified that citizens will be prosecuted under the article “attack on the territorial integrity of Ukraine,” which provides for imprisonment from 3 to 5 years and confiscation of property.
