Russians are expected to use the "elections" for the president of Russia in the occupied territories to create a sense of legitimacy for the full-scale invasion.
According to British intelligence, on December 11, 2023, the Central Election Commission of the terrorist country announced that voting in the presidential elections in March 2024 would also apply to the occupied territories of Ukraine.
As reported by intelligence, it is highly likely that the "voting" in the occupation will neither be free nor fair.
"The Russian administration will almost certainly utilise methods including substantive electoral fraud and voter intimidation to ensure Russian President Vladimir Putin wins in the regions by a substantial margin," adds the intelligence.
Specifically, the Russian authorities will use significant election falsifications and voter intimidation to ensure the victory of the incumbent dictator Vladimir Putin with a substantial lead.
