Quoted from Russian media Mir24, this statement sought to present the Russian presidential elections held from 15 to 17 March 2024 as adhering to democratic norms. The participation of international observers was intended to lend credibility to the electoral process, encompassing both Russian territory and the Ukrainian regions occupied by Russia.
I want to emphasize that the whole voting process is very peaceful. Everything is going on without any problems or scandals. I would like to say that Pakistan has a lot to learn from Russia in organizing the process. [Translated from Russian]

During the “presidential elections” held in Russia from 15-17 March 2024, Vladislav Davankov (“New People” party), Nikolay Kharitonov (Communist Party), Vladimir Putin, and Leonid Slutsky (Liberal-Democratic Party) competed for the presidency. Enabled to run yet again by controversial constitutional amendments effective 4 July 2020, Putin dominated the “elections” together with his controlled “opposition” excluding genuine opposition figures. These “elections” occurred under Putin’s regime control, both within Russia and illegally in occupied Ukrainian territories, including Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, ARC and Sevastopol.
