Russia has been bringing migrants from Central Asia to "polling stations" in the occupied territories of Ukraine to vote in the Russian presidential election, the National Resistance Centre has warned.

Migrants are promised an extra day off for going to the polling station.

"On 15 March, an electoral farce will start in the temporarily occupied territories, which is ignored by the vast majority of locals. To inflate the turnout, the enemy allowed voters to cast ballots without passports, and now they have tasked construction companies with sending migrants to the polls," the NRC said in a statement.

Migrants from Central Asia have been brought to the occupied lands of Ukraine since the end of 2022. Their number has now reached more than 100,000.

The National Resistance Centre emphasises that all those who help to "legalise" the occupation in the TOT will be held accountable.

Earlier, the Ukrainian parliament appealed to foreign governments and parliaments, as well as international organisations, over Russia's so-called presidential election in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine.
