KIEV, May 25. /ITAR-TASS/. International observers have noted facts of vote-buying at the Ukrainian presidential elections in the Dnipropetrovsk region in central Ukraine, observer from the International Commission on Human Rights Rafal Martin Wasik said on Sunday.
“We have registered the fact of vote-buying in the village of Alekseyevka of the Nikopolsky district in the Dnipropetrovsk region. Some people were offering electors 100 hryvnias each for voting for one of the presidential candidates,” Wasik said.
The international observers who registered this violation called the local police and passed the evidence they had collected to the law-enforcers, he said.

The eastern Ukrainian Donetsk and Luhansk regions held referendums on May 11, in which most voters supported independence from Ukraine. This happened due to an unstable political situation in Ukraine after a coup in the country three months ago.
Ukraine has been in turmoil after the coup, which occurred in February. New people were brought to power amid riots, as Yanukovych had to leave the country the same month citing security concerns. The new Ukrainian leaders in Kiev set early presidential elections for May 25.
