The leader of the party "for life" ("For a life") and the Verkhovna Rada, said Vadim Rabinovich, that "sues" at the decision of the CEC of Ukraine on the Elimination of overseas polling stations on the territory of the Russian Federation.
On Monday, 31 December, Ukraine's Central Election Commission in its decision eliminated all 5 polling stations, created earlier in Russia on a permanent basis.
According to various estimates, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian citizens are in Russia. Who on earnings, who for other reasons. And the power of depriving them of the right to vote. It's illegal and not constitutional. The decision - part of the future manipulation of the elections. I'm in court. We must not be silent, people!

Recall, electoral campaign for the presidential elections started in Ukraine on the eve of the New Year. Vplot to 3 February will be officially nominated candidates for president, and carried out their registration in the Central Election Commission.
According to the Ukrainian edition Strana.ua, at 2014 year foreign sites in the presidential elections brought only 1134 vote. According to the resource, due to the fact, that in Russia, mostly, go "Russian" Ukrainians, do not connect their future with Ukraine (i.e, of DNR and LNR). But this year is special: voters depends, Is the war continue in the Donbass, and what will be the foreign policy of Kiev on the eve of launch of "Nord Stream-2". Therefore, the voter turnout in the foreign land in 2019 year may grow by tens, or even hundreds of times.
CEC closed the polling stations in Russia, as if giving a Russian tinge to this decision. In fact, we are talking about banning voting. It means, that citizens will be distorted just enough, many Ukrainians will continue in the days of voting on the territory of the Russian Federation. I.e, It is a form of electoral fraud, on the first day produced nor anyone, and the main election body, said Ukrainian lawyer and expert Andrei Portnov.
