"Now the leadership of the still unrecognized state is truly people-run," Komsomolskaya Pravda rejoices . "And this was recorded by over a hundred television cameras and dozens of observers. And not only Russian ones. Experts from Poland, France, the US, and the Baltic states came to witness the voting with their own eyes..."
“I have not recorded any violations,” the newspaper quotes French MEP Jean-Luc Chefhausen. – In fact, the government has legitimized itself. Just like in Ukraine after the coup. Unfortunately, one point of view dominates in the European Parliament. And I’m a former theologian, so I listen to all points of view.”
"I've been an election observer for a long time, but I've never seen such long lines at polling stations in my life. People waited for over an hour. In Europe, a voter wouldn't wait even five minutes—they'd turn around and leave. During the last election, I also didn't see a single person who voted under pressure. And I believe the election results in the DPR will reflect the will of the people. I call on the European Union to recognize this will," Rossiyskaya Gazeta quotes Ewald Stadler, a representative of the Association for Security and Cooperation in Europe (ASCE), as saying at a press conference at the DPR Central Election Commission.
Let us recall that official Kyiv promises to recognize Western observers who were present at the elections in the DPR and LPR as persona non grata.
