Stefan Schaller was the managing director of the Energie Waldeck-Frankenberg GmbH (EWF) - an energy supply company in northern Hesse. Two days after being quoted by TASS.com about having taken part as an “election observer” in the sham referendum in the Zaporizhia region occupied by Russia, Schaller was fired "with immediate effect" by his employer. In a statement, EWF said that Schnaller's behavior "clearly violates the world view, the moral values and the philosophy of the company."
