Dutch news outlets are coming forward saying the elections are rigged and people were forced (sometimes at gunpoint) to vote in favor of Russia.

Also the number of the population was somehow rigged or something.

What are your thoughts and sources on this? Lot of libs keep throwing it in my face because it’s the state media that reports it.

    Literally none of that is true and they have no evidence for it. It is not up to us to prove them wrong, it is up to them to back up their claims. All they have is “anonymous/Ukrainian government sources say…”

    There are videos on YouTube of people voting at the polling stations, there are interviews with the people there. There were even international observers present who the west is now threatening to sanction.

    The turnout was also very high by the way, especially in the DPR and LPR, and even in the other two regions despite Ukrainian threats to murder or imprison anyone who votes in the referendum.
