Charles Michel, President of the European Council, stated unequivocally that Vladimir Putin’s re-election to the Russian presidency was not the result of free democratic voting, congratulating him in advance on his “victory.”
Source: Michel on Twitter (X), on the first day of voting in the presidential “elections” in Russia, as reported by European Pravda
Details: Michel sarcastically congratulated Putin on his upcoming uncontested “victory.”
Quote: “[I] would like to congratulate Vladimir Putin on his landslide victory in the elections starting today. No opposition. No freedom. No choice,” Michel wrote.
The European Commission previously stated that it would evaluate the legitimacy of the Russian “elections” and decide whether or not to recognise them once the process was completed.
The US State Department condemned Russia for allowing “voting” in Ukraine’s occupied territories on the first day of the elections.

No country should recognise this election, or should I say, coronation of the tsar.
As far as I am concerned, I would avoid sending condescending messages towards Russia by pointing out the absence of real democracy. It has no resonance in this country.
The vast majority, if not the overwhelming majority, of citizens adore the Nazi in the Kremlin and fully support the criminal actions of their elected officials. I don’t think a real free election would change anything. Would he lose 10% in the ballot boxes? So what.
I think the citizens of Russia are more afraid of losing the so-called greatness of their country embodied by their leaders, than of tasting freedom and reinventing a future for themselves. They will never let anyone scratch the varnish of their “past glory” and reveal the nothingness on which the current foundations of the Russian state rest.
We no longer have to worry about their fate. They chose. They could choose otherwise. It is very simple. If tomorrow 1 million middle class people take to the streets of Moscow and St. Petersburg for one day and simply asking to stop destroying the economy and futur of the country, the war will stop immediately.
We must support Ukraine at all costs, push the Nazis from Moscow to their borders, build a wall up to the stars and never look beyond, to the East.
Bert(?), there is hardly anything more painful than to face a reality that what you’ve believed in is a nothingness, a fake, a lie. That’s why the sheep in mafia land will hang on to their Potemkin Village of their purported greatness. They will blissfully ignore the fact that their great leader slithered like a worm in front of the little fat north korean to beg for mediocre ammo and so on.
It isn’t me

I wish you guys would address your name and avatar issues.
At the KyivPost, columnist Jason Jay Smart has a gloomy view on Putin’s sixth therm:
“ANALYSIS: Putin’s Iron-Rule May Be Weaker than It Appears”
https://www.kyivpost.com/analysis/29591
“When asked if Putin’s Regime is stable, Ilya Ponomarev, a Russian opposition leader who lives in Kyiv, replied saying: “Putin during last year suffered numerous military losses, barely escaped a coup, Kremlin was hit by enemy drones the first time ever, fighting spread to the territory of Russia for the first time in 80 years, he has to kill already captured opponents – and you say that this regime is stable? My stability looks quite different.””
putler re-electing himself is the best thing that could happen to russia. In two years he’s destroyed the relationship with his best customers. All the investors have left russia, along with all the experts in technology. The economy is on the way to collapse, and putler can’t stop this war, or he’s dead.
Yeah, Foccusser, today, Russians are staring into an abyss, and with Putler’s leadership, they’ll make a huge step ahead! 😈
Mr. Gray, I wouldn’t call this gloomy at all.
