MOSCOW, September 16 - RIA Novosti. Fraudsters are trying to act in the pre-election situation, and this is cynical, State Duma deputy Marina Kim said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
Ukrainian scammers continue to increase their efforts to discredit the elections in Russia and inflict various damage on them, the Chairman of the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation, Ella Pamfilova, previously reported.
“As for the fraudulent actions that criminals are trying to commit also in the pre-election situation. This, you know, as they say, nothing is sacred. This is the most important story, and they are trying to spoil something there with their unclean hands,” Kim said.
