The European Union has denounced Russia's presidential election result, saying that the elections "took place in a highly restricted environment" where there was "systematic internal repression". | |
A joint statement from all 27 European Union countries says Russians have been denied a "real choice" after all candidates opposed to the war in Ukraine were excluded. | |
The EU has condemned the staging of the vote in regions of Ukraine occupied by Moscow and says "it does not and will never recognise either the holding of these so-called 'elections' in the territories of Ukraine or their results". | |
The EU highlights the death of opposition politician Alexei Navalny in the run-up to the elections as a clear sign of "systematic repression". | |
Josep Borrell, the EU's foreign policy chief, has said ministers meeting in Brussels are expected to impose sanctions on prison officials involved in Navalny's death in an Arctic prison colony last month. | |
