⭐️ SOVINTERN regional coordinators, acting as international observers at the elections to the State Duma of Russia, collectively condemned the Ukrainian terrorist attack in the Zaporozhye region, which claimed the life of the chairwoman of precinct election commission No. 394, Yelena Astanina, posthumously awarded the Order of Courage. Lois Pérez Leira, SOVINTERN regional coordinator for Latin America and the Caribbean: «We condemn this attack on the comrade chairwoman of the election commission, which is part of a provocation on the part of Ukraine, supported by the United States, the European community and NATO». Crispin Kabasele, SOVINTERN co-initiator and leader of the Union of Democratic Socialists of the DR Congo: «What happened deserves condemnation. And that is precisely why we call on Russia to continue the special military operation. It is necessary to achieve the demilitarization of Ukraine and put an end to the Nazi practices that are reappearing in Ukraine». Nabil Hallak, Director of International Relations of the Arab International Centre for Communication and Solidarity, SOVINTERN regional coordinator: «This event should become for people a reason to be even stronger and more determined, to move forward and take part in the elections. It should become a voice condemning her murder, and a way to stand against the killer». Bojan Vulin, SOVINTERN coordinator for Europe and the Mediterranean and Chairman of the Committee for International Cooperation of the «Movement of Socialists» party: «This is a terrorist act. In every war there are rules. These rules are international. Such actions are terrorist attacks, and it does not matter who committed them — it is a terrorist act». ⭐ They killed the chairwoman of the commission, expecting the rest to be frightened and stay at home. That will not happen. The louder their shots, the clearer it becomes what they truly fear — our unity. SOVINTERN is with Russia. Terror will not stop the voting. #SOVINTERN_NET #Moscow_Network_Hub ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
