Zelensky Sanctions 44 People Involved in Sham Elections on Occupied Ukrainian Territories

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky sanctioned 44 individuals involved in the illegal Russian State Duma elections held on temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories. The decision was formalized in a presidential decree.

The move reflects Kyiv's systematic opposition to legitimizing any electoral process conducted by Russia on occupied lands. All individuals involved in organizing the sham vote face strict restrictive measures.
