The quote is taken from the Russian media Tatar-Info. This statement was used to relativise any criticism of the 2024 Russian presidential elections from mainstream Western media. Instead, it created a narrative of a fair and democratic process. The presence of international observers legitimizes the elections held both in Russia and in Russia-occupied Ukrainian territories.
Western media show a different situation, but here I saw everything with my own eyes. It is very important that you invited people from all over the world to see how the elections are going on in Russia, because “to see” means “to believe”. [Translated from Russian]
