For the last 25 years, the Central Election Commission of Ukraine acted exclusively in the interests of the Ukrainian people. We did everything to make every voice of a Ukrainian man and woman matter. It's because every vote is important. Today it is not just important, it saves lives. Nowadays this world is being saved by the bravest.

Today, more than ever, we need the world to make a choice. There are only two options to vote for, life or death.

Therefore, we, the Central Election Commission of Ukraine, apeal to election observation missions, which in recent years have commendded the level of organization and conduct of elections in Ukraine in particular and the level of democracy in general. We also appeal to voters from all over the world.

You have been contributing to democracy for decades. Now it is time to show your position and contribute to life.

After all, today we are talking about a choice not in the context of elections, but in the context of choosing between life and death.

We urge you to appeal to the parliamentarians and governments of your own countries, the countries of NATO to close the sky over Ukraine.

After all, the missile and bomb strikes of Russian planes are wiping out the entire cities in Ukraine, and now, along with children and civilians, democracy is dying, so all the rights and freedoms gained over the centuries.
