«I have traveled a lot of areas, both those that have come under fire, and where repairs are now taking place due to drone strikes… And people today are happy to greet the democratic process itself, because our turnout was almost 70% In conditions of proximity to hostilities, this is a very high turnout… This is precisely an indicator of support for the authorities, support for the president,” Balitsky said on Channel One.
