Claim
False
“The attack on Ukraine’s results system in 2014 made the election unverifiable”
Reviewed September 22, 2026
Verdict
False. What failed was the real-time public display; the legal count rests on paper protocols, which were unaffected. ODIHR assessed the election as characterised by high turnout and a clear resolve by the authorities to hold a genuine election in the vast majority of the country.
