Kallas proposes sanctions against organizers of Russian 'elections' in occupied Ukrainian territories

According to Ukrinform, she stated this on the social media platform X . "The so-called Duma elections marked another major setback for Russian democracy. Their outcome was never in doubt," she wrote. According to Kallas, the Kremlin suppressed dissent, barred the only registered party that opposed the war in Ukraine from participating, and prevented international observers from monitoring the elections. Kallas said that Russia now has only a "veneer of democracy." "I have proposed measures against those facilitating these sham elections in occupied Ukrainian territories," she added.
