Russia is holding parliamentary elections in four Ukrainian regions that Moscow has illegally annexed since its full-scale invasion began. The vote marks the first time such elections are being conducted in these areas, which Ukraine does not recognize as part of Russia. The move comes amid ongoing conflict and international condemnation of the annexation. The election is taking place despite widespread skepticism about its legitimacy and participation.
Russia's parliamentary election for the first time is being held in Ukraine's regions that Moscow illegally annexed after the start of its full-scale invasion more than 4 1/2 years ago.
