Vice Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said during a national telethon on Suspilne TV.

She emphasized the futility of the Kremlin’s attempts to create an optical illusion of supporting the occupiers in the occupied territories.

“We have confirmed information that during the pseudo-elections, the occupiers tried to understand how many people, what gender and age remained in the TOT. Their goal was to register men of military age. Then they would mobilize them to fight against Ukraine. To avoid this, we must try to leave the TOT by all means,” the Vice Prime Minister summarized.
