Russia holds parliamentary vote in Ukrainian territories it seized during war
Russia is conducting elections in regions it claims to have annexed from Ukraine following its 2022 invasion.
Russia is holding parliamentary elections in Ukrainian territories that Moscow has declared annexed since launching its full-scale invasion more than four years ago, according to NPR News. The vote marks the first time Russia has conducted elections in these areas.
The international community has not recognized Russia's annexation of these Ukrainian regions. Ukraine and Western nations have characterized Russia's control of the territories as illegal occupation resulting from military invasion.
