We strongly condemn the illegal elections held by the Russian Federation in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine in the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson oblasts, as well as in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol. Also, Poland forcefully condemns the organisation of voting in Transnistria, Tskhinvali/South Ossetia and Abkhazia without the consent of the authorities of the Republic of Moldova and Georgia, respectively. In these cases as well, the "election" was held unlawfully, in breach of all standards of international law and democracy.
