The Kremlin is planning to consolidate its influence in occupied territories of Ukraine by staging sham elections that President Vladimir Putin’s United Russia party is expected to dominate, British officials said Tuesday.
Early voting has already begun in Zaporizhzhia and Mariupol, and the bogus elections are expected to conclude by Sunday.
“There is also an absence of independent candidates that are not members of the Kremlin-endorsed parties, indicating that these will not be free or fair elections,” British officials said Tuesday on X, formerly known as Twitter. “The ‘United Russia’ party will likely command the majority of seats in an attempt to secure the Kremlin’s hold and influence over the occupied regions.”
