Our parliament will, of course, react
As reported earlier, elections to the State Duma of the Russian Federation took place on September 17-19.
The Verkhovna Rada has already called on the international community not to recognize the legitimacy of the election due to the intention of the Russian authorities to set up the illegal voting in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, including Crimea and certain areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
In Ukraine, polling stations for the Russian State Duma elections have officially opened in Russian diplomatic and consulate facilities in Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, and Kharkiv.
