Parlamentul European nu-i recunoaște pe noii parlamentari ruși: „Fără contacte oficiale cu noua Dumă”

The European Parliament has rejected the legitimacy of Russia's State Duma, urging EU member states to adopt the same stance. They call for no official contacts with Russian parliamentarians following the elections deemed unfair. The resolution, passed with a significant majority, highlights the lack of genuine opposition candidates and free press during the elections. It condemns the organization of elections in occupied Ukrainian territories and calls for new sanctions against those involved in political persecution in Russia. The Parliament emphasizes that EU-Russia relations cannot normalize without a just peace in Ukraine, including troop withdrawal and accountability for war crimes.
