Ukraine strongly condemns Russia's plan to hold presidential elections in the occupied territories of Ukraine, including Crimea and parts of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson oblasts. The Ukrainian government has called the upcoming elections 'null and void' and urged the international community to impose sanctions on individuals involved in organizing and conducting these elections. Russia's Central Election Commission has passed a resolution to hold the presidential vote in Ukraine's annexed territories in March, despite strong opposition from Ukraine and concerns about the true results of the elections. Meanwhile, there are reports of a Russian spy attempting to infiltrate Ukraine's government by getting elected to parliament, and veteran Russian politician Grigory Yavlinsky is predicting his loss to Vladimir Putin in the upcoming presidential elections.
