Ukrainian kamikaze drones "voted" in one of the "election" headquarters of Russian terrorists in the Zaporizhzhia region. The sham elections ended prematurely, according to RBC-Ukraine's source within the Security Service of Ukraine.

Two Ukrainian kamikaze drones "voted" against Russian terrorists during the sham elections in the village of Skelky, Vasylivka district, the Zaporizhzhia region. The "electoral" headquarters of the Russians was used for storing ballots and documents.

The "elections" ended prematurely due to explosions and a fire. After the attack, the occupiers surrounded adjacent streets and began checking civilians, including launching drones into the air.

Sham elections in occupied territories

Russian terrorists are conducting so-called "elections" at various levels in the occupied territories, including "by-elections" for State Duma deputies, and "elections" of regional heads and legislators.

Germany notes that sham elections are merely a propaganda campaign and will not be recognized by Berlin. According to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, terrorists use such tactics to bolster their illegitimate claims to the occupied territories.
