Consiliul Europei denunță alegerile din Rusia: „Un simulacru de alegeri pentru un parlament artificial”

The Council of Europe criticizes the Russian parliamentary elections as a sham, urging the international community not to recognize the results. The elections, the first since the Ukraine invasion, are seen as lacking legitimacy due to systematic repression and the inclusion of occupied territories. The Platform for Dialogue with Russian Democratic Forces highlights the absence of independent international observers and the oppressive climate surrounding the elections.
