Ukraine condemns 'fake elections' in Russian-occupied areas September 08, 2023 at 02:17AM

Ukraine's foreign ministry on Friday criticised a vote organised by Moscow in four regions it claims to have annexed Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson -- as well as in Crimea. "By organising fake elections in the Ukrainian regions and Crimea, the Kremlin continues to delegitimize the Russian legal system," the foreign ministry said.
