Local government elections are underway in certain Russia-controlled regions of Ukraine, as uniformed Russian soldiers watch over voting facilities to ensure "security."
Uniformed Russian soldiers are stationed near many voting facilities alongside police, ostensibly to "provide security to members of election commissions," according to Donetsk Mayor Alexei Kulemzin.
