Fraud, bribery recorded in local elections - Tymoshenko

Batkivschyna Party leader Yulia Tymoshenko has reported large-scale falsifications and bribery of voters in the elections to united territorial communities in Ukraine on October 29.

"I will say about the result, but this result was obtained against the background of large-scale falsifications led by the Ukrainian president. This result was obtained against the background of large-scale bribery of people across Ukraine. The administrative resources, which were used in the regions for the first time in the history of independent Ukraine, had an effect on election commissions, members of precinct commissions and received artificial results," Tymoshenko told journalists in Kyiv on Monday.

She also noted that law enforcement agencies had opened criminal cases against candidates for united territorial communities and that on the night of the counting of the results of the vote, "bandits armed with axes and Kalashnikov rifles came to polling stations and switched off the light to prevent the counting of results."

As reported, local elections in 201 united territorial communities were held on October 29.
