Ukrainian Military Damaged Over 70 Russian Polling Stations During Elections, CEC Chief Says
Central Election Commission chairwoman Ella Pamfilova described the incidents as targeted attacks.
Russia's Central Election Commission (CEC) chairwoman Ella Pamfilova said the Ukrainian military damaged more than 70 polling stations in Russia during recent elections, according to TASS.
Pamfilova characterized the incidents as targeted attacks, though the report did not specify the exact locations, methods used, or the timing of the individual incidents referenced.
The claim was made in the context of Russia's electoral process, which has continued to take place despite the ongoing conflict with Ukraine, including in regions near the front lines and, in some cases, in territories whose status is disputed internationally.
TASS, Russia's state news agency, did not report an independent response from Ukrainian officials to the specific claim regarding damage to polling stations.
No additional casualty figures or details about the polling stations affected were included in the available reporting.
