German FM comments on 'voting' results in Russia
Presidential "elections" in Russia "were not real", said German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock at the beginning of the summit of European foreign ministers, Reuters reported on March 18.
"The elections in Russia were elections without a choice," the German Foreign Minister said.
On March 17, voting in the presidential "elections" ended in Russia. Putin allegedly gained a sky-high and record-breaking 87.32%, even for himself - this is the fictitious 99.67% count that the Russian Central Election Commission "drew" for the Russian dictator.
The second place in this staged performance was given to the candidate from the Russian Communists, Nikolai Kharitonov (Communist Party), who allegedly gained 4.3%.
Vladislav Davankov from the New People party was third (3.82%), and Leonid Slutsky from the Liberal Democratic Party was fourth (3.20%).
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
