Yea that is a really cruel thing to do, evacuating abandoned and unwanted Ukrainian children with medical needs away from an active combat zone. Has the mother tried to get her baby back, or does she still not want her??
Protests outside Russian consulate in Bonn over election
Russian consulate in Bonn on Sunday during the final day of voting in Russia's presidential election.
Two demonstrations began at midday near the Consulate General to denounce Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is almost certain to win the election amid allegations of fraud and manipulation.
The organizers of the "Noon against Putin" demonstration told officials that they expected around 300 participants. According to the police, organizers of a rival pro-Putin rally were expecting 50 participants.
Queues of would-be voters stretched for several hundred metres outside the consulate, which has enacted extra security measures during the three-day election.
The consulate in Bonn, the former capital of West Germany, is one of two places in Germany where Russians can vote in the election. The other voting place is the Russian embassy in Berlin.
Ahh I love a good rumor
Have you yourself not requested links and sources at least twice in this thread already??

Oh thanks for taking a photo and showing us all that you voted for Putin.
Why did you take a photo at all? It's weird to do it during the elections.
Because you had to show it to your employer like many other of your fellow citizens?
What I would find interesting, is how much less than 87% of the vote did Putin get without the ballot boxes being stuffed, and other cheating during the election, like manipulation of online voting results? But we will never know the real election results, except that support for Putin is less than the manipulated 87% figure.

my choice and that of 87% of Russians. so you can continue to spit bile or burst from anger. but the presidential elections in Russia took place and Putin is president
11:31
this is polling location 912 in the Novagarod region. The polls closed at 8, and by 8:20 you can see through the window, the poll workers shoving in more ballots into the boxes. The lights are on, the blinds are up, these people aren't even trying to hide it. They're just doing what they're told to do.
That's pretty blatant, but it won't get circulated on Russian state media, so most Russians won't even know about it, unless they bypass state media.
Yea it sucks when eighteen year olds get conscripted for military service anywhere. But you cannot refute the fact that they were to be conscripted in Ukraine as well.

Ummm...those people do kinda remind me of the democrats...
Oh yeah...cant beat them at the polls...so set the polling station on fire...
Figures some here would approve...
What are they afraid of...losing...?
Doesn't seem as if they wish to respect how their neighbors chose to cast their vote...almost as if they believe that their voice...or vote...are the only ones that matter...
I guess that's how...democracy works...just loot and burn and intimidate...
The real meat of the matter...is how they want their special voices to be heard...yet by their actions they deny the voices of those they don't agree with...
Typical...
