Russia election: Steinmeier with a diplomatic affront - Baerbock's office goes one step further. Germany's Foreign Office in Berlin wrote on Platform X that these were pseudo-elections.

They are neither free nor fair, and the result surprises no one. “Putin's rule is authoritarian, he relies on censorship, repression and violence” The “elections” in the occupied territories of Ukraine are “null and void” and a “further breach of international law”
