For Putin to stay in power: presidential election has begun. Ukraine is also protesting against the elections in its regions.
Putin is wanted by the International Criminal Court in The Hague with an arrest warrant on suspicion of having committed serious war crimes in Ukraine. Applicants who spoke out against Putin's war of aggression were not even accepted as candidates. The opposition speaks of an “election farce” that has nothing in common with a vote according to democratic rules. Election observers from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) are not invited this time.
