Vladimir Putin has weighed in on multiple reports alleging Russian citizens have burned down ballot boxes in protest as the Russian election is underway.

-snip-

Putin slammed the reports as he accused Ukraine of waging a "terrorist" campaign against Russia in an effort to thwart the election.

He also accused Kyiv of intensifying military strikes on Russian territory to "intimidate" voters – a goal he claimed Ukraine will not achieve.

According to the TASS news agency, Putin said: "These attacks, pointless from the military point of view and criminal from the humanitarian point of view, as has been said, are geared to hinder presidential election in Russia.

"I am convinced that our people will respond to this by being more consolidated.

"Who do they want to intimidate? The Russian people? The Multiethnic people of Russia?"

False Flags? Would seem made to order for the Putin promoters on FR and around the world.

If they have the guts to do it why don’t we?

Ruzzia, Ruzzia, Ruzzia.
Not many articles about what’s happening on the ground in Ukraine.
That’s because Ukies are not taking Russian Speaking Territories
back from Ruzzia.
Just articles about Ruzzia, Ruzzia, Ruzzia meant to distract.

The Zeepers cannot even show the masses of dead Russians at the front even though they comment about it incessantly.

“Good for him to speak up.”

Even better would be if this election wasn’t a farce.

Despots always get mad when people fight back.

Burning ballot boxes? Liberals, despite claiming they hate Russia, will be stealing this idea next, in order to continue to steal elections here.

"Aren’t you tired of “Putin” whining like a baby today?Aren’t you tired of “Putin” whining like a baby today?"

At least he's not out taking world-wide begging tours like Zelensky. Z's flown more than Hitler did in WWII.

Coming soon to the US, or worse.

"When Putin abandons his illegal occupation of Ukrainian territory."

Zelensky's already cancelled elections in Ukraine. He's hoping he can get enough people killed off so there won't be any need for future elections ever again.

And what about Ukraine shelling ethnic Russians in Donetsk

They were shelling Putin's troops who had illegally entered Ukraine. Had Putin not invaded, there would never have been any trouble. Get that through your head.

[nwrep]

Meaning like in the USA? :-)

[Srednik]

Russian election interference. Call in Schiff and Comey!

[MeganC]

Pretty much, yeah.

[bimboeruption]

Run out of snuff films marcus?

So it was Putin’s troops that voted to secede in Donetsk and Luhansk after the Euromaiden revolution?

[Darksheare]

Civilians are troops in your world, okay.
Tell you guys what, how about you make a thread laying out how you believe funding Ukraine and supplying troops is a conservative position, be sure to ping Jim and convince him.

[Liaison]

So rooty poot poot is upset at maybe the Ukrainian cousins or pissed off Russians are trying to subvert his glorious reelection. Not like he, oh no, he never would, influence someone else’s election. Heavens no!
