EU Foreign Affairs and Security Policy chief Kaja Kallas plans to impose sanctions on those who helped conduct the Russian State Duma elections in Ukraine's occupied regions. Kallas highlighted on X that these elections represented a significant setback for Russian democracy. The Kremlin had manipulated the process by silencing dissent, banning the main opposition party, and preventing foreign election observers from monitoring the vote.
Kallas described the situation in Russia as consisting of only a "mock democracy." She argued that the only viable elections were held in Russia and Ukraine's occupied areas from September 18 to 20. International observers documented numerous irregularities during the electoral campaign in the invading nation. Switzerland denounced the Russian elections in Ukraine's occupied territories, while Germany's government labeled the three-day voting process as a "fabricated event."
