Russian Official Accuses Kiev of Planning Operations to Disrupt Elections
A Russian diplomat says Ukrainian forces are massing near the Donetsk and Luhansk regions ahead of alleged plans to disrupt Russian elections, according to TASS.
Rodion Miroshnik, a Russian diplomat, has said that Kiev is preparing special operations aimed at disrupting elections in Russia, the state-run news agency TASS reported.
According to Miroshnik, a significant concentration of forces is being amassed near the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) and Luhansk People's Republic (LPR), regions of Ukraine that Russia illegally annexed in 2022 but does not fully control.
TASS did not provide further details on the nature of the alleged operations, the timeline for the claimed military buildup, or specific evidence supporting Miroshnik's assertions.
The claims could not be independently verified. Ukrainian authorities have not publicly responded to the allegations as of this report.
Russia has previously accused Ukraine of plotting to interfere with its domestic political processes, including elections, though such claims have frequently been disputed or denied by Kiev.
This report is based solely on information released through Russian state media and reflects the statements of a Russian official; independent confirmation of the claims was not available at the time of publication.
