President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko urged law enforcers to bring to justice organizers of bribery schemes during the latest elections to the united territorial communities (UTC), held last sunday, April, 29.

As reported by The Press Service of the Head of State, Poroshenko said this during the meeting of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.

«I am very concerned about the number of facts of bribery of voters by certain political forces. For me, as president and guarantor of rights and freedoms of citizens, including their electoral rights, this is something absolutely unacceptable», – Poroshenko emphasizes.

The President appealed to the National Police, Security Service of Ukraine and Prosecutor General’s Office demanding that the cases on violation of the electoral legislation be brought to a logical conclusion and that «everyone who committed the crime against democracy be imprisoned», the press service reports.

Poroshenko also noted the importance of bringing to justice those who organized bribery of voters: «Not only performers, but also those who organized the schemes must be imprisoned».

As «The Journalist» earlier reported, a massive falsification of elections in Odessa region was recorded: the observer fled, throwing evidence.
