Isn't this coming from the same country that literally cancelled elections and started hunting down and imprisoning opposition political parties?
If they held elections Russia would bomb the polling sites.
It's dangerous and costly, and r/n Ukraine is under martial law for good reason.
Ah, but that doesn't mean you should start prosecuting your opposition.
If the opposition supports the enemy, you perhaps should.
Edit: you asshats think Russia should allow pro-Ukraine parties to run for the Duma, or the presidency? Or is it always a double standard with you?
