Moscow Does Everything to Provide Russians With Opportunity to Vote in Ukraine

Kiev should ensure the security at the Russian diplomatic sites in Ukraine so that Russian citizens can safely vote at parliamentary elections on Sunday, and Moscow has fulfilled its duties, an official said.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Moscow has done everything to provide Russians with an opportunity to vote at the Russian parliamentary elections in Ukraine, while security at ballot stations should be ensured by Kiev, Russia’s Central Election Commission (CEC) chair Ella Pamfilova said Saturday.

"We did everything we should for that [for holding elections]," Pamfilova said, commenting on whether the elections would be held in Ukraine.

"All bulletins have been delivered, the ballot stations prepared, everything is done. The rest, including safety, should be ensured by the state, hosting the polls… I hope that everything will be fine," Pamfilova added.
