Quote: "The occupiers have created a humanitarian crisis in [the temporarily occupied territories], where people have no money to live on, and are now trying to [bribe] those who depend on them. In particular, the occupation administration [officials] plan to recruit [elderly people] to the party of the international criminal Vladimir Putin."

Details: The Resistance Center also said that this move was being undertaken in light of the upcoming Russian presidential elections and are another piece of the "puzzle in the preparation for this propaganda farce". Russian occupation officials think that an influx of new party members would sustain an illusion of voter turnout at the several polling centres in the occupied territories of Ukraine.
