Reference.

On February 23, during a press conference, deputy head of the Volyn branch of the CVU Yuriy Kresak cited examples of violations of current election legislation by political parties and candidates for elected office. The bloc "Our Ukraine" leads in this.

In particular, in Lutsk "advertising special issues of the newspaper 'Our Ukraine. Volyn' are being distributed in NSNU campaign tents without any imprint data" (Article 71, Part 23 of the Law of Ukraine "On Elections of People's Deputies of Ukraine"). In the newspaper "Volyn," advertising announcements about NSNU and BYuT campaign films are published in one block with social and commercial advertising (Article 71, Part 7 of the Law of Ukraine "On Elections of People's Deputies of Ukraine"). Advertising posters without imprint data "They betrayed the Ukrainian people," "Lutsk 2006 – our city, our Ukraine," etc.

Also, without any imprint data, advertising posters of candidates for the post of Lutsk city mayor Oleh Chernetskyi "We will build the city together," Yevhen Melnyk "We will overcome corruption in Lutsk," Inna Reikina "Honest people exist! Inna Reikina. Heard?" were distributed.

Yuriy Kresak notes the high-quality and expensive printing on these campaign materials, which indicates the use of large funds for election campaigning.
