Pro-Ukrainian Russian partisans of the 'Siberian Battalion' today called on the Russian population to "ignore the elections" in the country, calling them a "sham".
"The soldiers of the 'Siberian Battalion' are in Russia and are appealing to the inhabitants of the Russian Federation to ignore the 'elections' - reads the message published on Telegram -. The ballot papers and polling stations in this case are a fiction".
For its part, the 'Freedom of Russia' Legion has assured that it will make "every effort" to ensure that its dreams of a Russia free from the dictatorship of President Vladimir Putin "become reality".
