At the plenary session in Strasbourg on 30 September, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe unanimously recognized the new composition of the State Duma of Russia as illegitimate, said Ukrainian MP and member of the Ukrainian delegation to PACE Yevheniya Kravchuk.
The decision was supported by all 59 members of the Assembly present, and PACE concluded that the so-called elections to the State Duma, which took place on 18–20 September, did not meet the fundamental criteria of free and fair elections.
Therefore, the voting results cannot be regarded as the genuine expression of the will of Russian citizens.
The resolution also condemns the coercion of Ukrainian citizens to participate in Russia-organized “elections.” The document emphasizes that such pressure deprives people of the ability to freely express their will.
