This shelling during voting explains the presence of Russian soldiers in numerous voting areas.
The rised hand vote in Kosovo in 2008 for independence wasn’t even close to a referendum (which is taking place in Donetsk, Luhansk, etc) went against the Serbian constitution, thus was without the permission of Serbian authorities, and yet was hastily accepted by the west/NATO/EU.
Every now and then “ping.”
Where are all the FR Ukrainian cheer leaders now?
You know, if you were undecided that day, I doubt you’d vote for the ones who shot a howitzer at you that day.
“Ukraine ‘shells’ occupied areas amid vote”
I think 3 of the 4 regions voting have already hit the required 50% turnout for the vote to be certified, with the 4th region very close to 50%. So the shelling by the terrorists was too little and too late.
I congratulate you on finding one of the better examples of the disingenuous strain of propaganda. This one deserves some sort of prize.
Ukrainians are being constantly shelled by Russian forces from these areas, but apparently it is appalling that the Ukrainians shoot back.
There was this war going on I seem to recall...
Going online to Google, Brave, etc, and using the search words “Ukraine ‘shells’ occupied areas amid vote” will yield several results.

“50,000 Muscovites rallied to support the referendum. Westerners donât realize the whole reason this conflictâs happening now is because Ukraine bombed Donbass for 8 years & when they voted to be independent, Ukraine didnât like it & bombed them again. This was a long time coming.”

Some shelling? Perhaps. Both sides shelling each other. You are fulminating as though it is widespread.
And killed innocent civilians.
