These days, russia is \u201ccelebrating\u201d the 25th anniversary of vladimir putin\u2019s first election as president of the russian federation.
\nru-propaganda presents these 25 years as a \u201cnew victorious era in russia\u2019s history.\u201d In reality, since May 2024, putin has been an illegitimate head of state.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fAt that time, putin was \u201celected\u201d for his fifth presidential term, with \u201cvoting\u201d also conducted in the temporarily occupied territories (TOT) of Ukraine. This renders both the vote and the \u201celected\u201d individual illegitimate.<\/p>\n
The russian occupation of Ukrainian territories is not recognized by any civilized country in the world. Elections held in Ukraine\u2019s TOT are a blatant violation not only of the Constitution and laws of Ukraine but also of the 1907 Hague Conventions, the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention, the 1994 Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances related to Ukraine\u2019s accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, the 1997 Treaty on Friendship, Cooperation, and Partnership between Ukraine and the russian federation, among other international legal instruments.<\/p>\n
European countries have condemned these fake pseudo-elections. Relevant resolutions were adopted by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) and the European Parliament. On May 8, 2024, the Central Election Commission of Ukraine passed a resolution emphasizing that the \u201celection results\u201d of the russian presidential vote are null and void and unlawfully conducted on Ukraine\u2019s TOT. Therefore, the person \u201celected\u201d in such \u201celections\u201d is illegitimate.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0fputin is currently serving his fifth presidential term and third in a row. To enable him to be re-elected after the end of his second term in 2008, the russian constitution was amended twice, including in 2020, to \u201creset\u201d all previous presidential terms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
