Kiev Threatens 12 Years of Prison for Voting in Referendums in Areas They Don’t Control

Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk warned on yesterday’s national broadcast: “There are not and will not be any referendums on our Ukrainian land.” (Presently, such referendums are mooted in three oblasts that Kiev doesn’t control: Zaporizhzhia, Kherson and Kharkiv.) She continued: “It’s all a farce and a circus. But, for our citizens who will take part in this, there is actually an article of the Criminal Code. If collaboration is proven, or, for example, participation in the referendum or incitement to participate in the referendum, then people can receive up to 12 years, with confiscation (of assets).”

So, one need not even vote, but only encourage someone else to vote, to violate the Criminal Code. While this may seem harsh, it is in line with the Kiev regime’s previous announcement, that any Ukrainian who applies for Russian citizenship risks 15 years of prison.
