Odessa security forces came up with a new reason for “isolating the territory” of the Russian consulate
On the morning of March 18, the Odessa police received a report of an explosive device allegedly planted in the Russian Consulate General, where a polling station for the election of the President of the Russian Federation was supposed to open.
This was reported by the Odessa Internet portal “Timer”.
It is noted that under the pretext of “mining,” Ukrainian security forces were gathered at the diplomatic mission, who cordoned off the building and did not allow anyone inside.
The police press service confirmed that they were taking measures “to isolate the area.”
"Thus, the terrorist call allowed Ukrainian law enforcement to fulfill Interior Minister Arsen Avakov's promise and prevent Russian citizens in Ukraine from participating in the vote. Ukrainian law enforcement was apparently afraid to disrupt the Russian vote without this plausible pretext," Timer writes.
