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.

Vasilievskaya [...] said that she saw the moment of the impact in the morning together with Palmeri. According to her, the drone attack was carried out “with the aim of hitting the civilian population.” “This is a violation of any rules, which is what we are trying to convey to Europe. That’s why we came here, to show what’s really going on [in Energodar].” [Translated from Russian]
