Ministry of Foreign Affairs: false stories about “protests” among voters abroad appeared on the Internet. Fake news is being spread on Telegram channels that Russians are lining up abroad supposedly for the sake of a protest, and not to vote.

The authors of such stuffing “forgot to ask the voters themselves,” the Foreign Ministry emphasized. The channel of the Russian department posted videos in which Russian citizens themselves from Madrid, Rome, Yerevan and Athens talk about what they think about such provocations.
