Mobile "referendum". It is always more convenient to vote when two soldiers with machine guns are knocking at your apartment. Zaporizhzhia region

Unfortunately in Italy nobody knows this person. And there is a reason. They changed his name. Elisio Berliosi is not his real name. As usual Russian propaganda

Even if the vote was 100% legitimate, it's still a sham because this region is an active warzone controlled by the aggressor nation where 90% of the pro Ukrainian folk have already fled the region out of fear they will be persecuted.

I was shocked 2 C that They can not make their vote anonymously in this illegal referendum.
The ballot paper is open for anyone to C What you vote for.
one of the most important principles in free elections is that your vote is anonymous.
