A polling station in Lebedynske, Donetsk region, did not open because a commission was not formed, Ukraine’s Interior Ministry has said.

“The polling station’s commission was not present,” Interior Ministry spokesman Artem Shevchenko said during a briefing on April 21.

Interior Ministry advisor Zorian Shkyriak said Ukraine’s Central Election Commission is currently taking measures to ensure voters there will be able to cast their ballots.
