According to the CEC’s Telegram channel, the decision follows consultations between the commission itself, the Russian Defense Ministry, and the Federal Security Service (FSB), as well as the Moscow-backed heads of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk “people’s republics” and the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions.
