"There are information attacks on the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Minister, the Police, the Head of the National Police. I associate it with the fact that we have taken a principled stand to hold these elections without falsifications and bribery. Maybe someone has expected another, but we took a clear position, regardless the provocations or pressure level that may be put on me personally or the Police, or the MIA as the voting date approaches. The issues of the election disruption through such actions, such risks, I would say, that it can be considered at the level of treason against the State. Because, this is a risk and a threat to our independence. And I, as a citizen, and as a Minister, will do everything to defend our independence," - Arsen Avakov said.

The Head of the MIA added that none of the candidates will receive any preference from the MIA. "We will be strict to all the same. We will not allow bribes and will clearly hold this position," - Arsen Avakov emphasized.

The number of police officers will also be increased on the streets. Almost all personnel will be involved in the election process. The location of our forces all over the country will enable us to respond in adequate manner everywhere”, Arsen Avakov said.
