Ukrainian prisoners of war in the colony in Yelenovka were forced to vote for the accession of the "LDNR" to Russia. The video with the formation and voting was published by the Russian state news agency TASS.
It is reported that those who have a registration mark in the "Donetsk People's Republic" will vote. In addition, TASS writes that Ukrainian prisoners of war from Yelenovka turned to the “People’s Council of the DPR” with a request to join the Bogdan Khmelnitsky Cossack battalion being formed. They allegedly transmitted their proposal orally through the “chairman of the legislative body” Vladimir Bidyovka.
