Estonia's Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna denounced the Russian State Duma elections as a mere political spectacle, stating that Estonia firmly condemns these pseudo-elections taking place on Ukrainian territories illegally occupied by Russia. Tsahkna emphasized that the sole purpose of this sham vote is to bolster Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin's regime.
Meanwhile, Russia's Central Election Commission released preliminary election results, showing United Russia leading with over 57.5% of the party-list vote. The Communist Party and the Liberal Democratic Party followed in second and third place, respectively. These political forces, despite having different names, have long demonstrated unwavering loyalty to the Kremlin and represent no genuine opposition to Putin's regime.
Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada had previously called on the international community to condemn the Russian pseudo-elections held in the territories Russia illegally occupied.
