(MENAFN- UkrinForm) The names of nine individuals involved in holding the so-called "elections" in eastern Ukraine have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

The list of those subject to restrictive measures over actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine now includes "Chairperson" of the "Central Electoral Commission" of the so-called "Donetsk People's Republic" Olga Pozdnyakova and her colleague, which heads the "Central Election Commission" of the "Luhansk People's Republic," Elena Kravchenko; "elected leader" of the so-called "Luhansk People's Republic" Leonid Pasechnik, "chairpersons" of the so-called "People's Council" of the so-called "Donetsk People's Republic" Vladimir Bidevka and Denis Miroshnichenko; "Deputy Chairs" of the "Central Electoral Commissions" of "DPR" and "LPR" Aleksey Naydenko and Maksim Svidchenko respectively; and "secretaries" of the so-called CECs Vladimir Vysotskiy from "DPR" and Ekaterina Tereshchenko from "LPR."
