The need for international support of Ukraine for the preparation of safe, inclusive and legitimate post-war elections is emphasized separately, when appropriate conditions for their holding appear.”
Details: The PACE also stated that the forced involvement of the civilian population of Ukraine in the temporarily occupied territories in the so-called “elections” organized by the Russian Federation is a gross violation of international law and completely nullifies any claims to their legitimacy.
The head of the Central Election Commission Oleg Didenko added that PACE objectively assessed the scale of negative consequences of Russian aggression against Ukraine for democratic election processes in Europe and the world and called for Ukraine’s support in overcoming them.
straight language: “Ukraine will probably face these challenges in the post-war elections. That is why preparations for their prevention and neutralization have already begun: both at the level of the parliament through the activities of a special working group, and at the level of the Central Election Commission through the development and adoption of proposals for legislation on post-war elections, as well as through a systematic study of foreign practices for overcoming similar challenges.”
