Voting has commenced in Russia as part of a three-day presidential election process. This electoral event is significant as it determines the leadership for the next term. The context of this election is marked by the absence of substantial opposition, with key figures who could have contested against the incumbent president either incarcerated, deceased, or ineligible to participate due to disqualification.

Given the circumstances surrounding the election, it is widely anticipated that Vladimir Putin will secure another term as president. The unavailability of formidable opponents positions Putin in a favorable stance to win, reinforcing his prolonged tenure in office.

Las urnas se han abierto en las elecciones presidenciales rusas y estamos fuera de la embajada rusa en Lituania, donde se está votando. Este es, por supuesto, un país donde viven muchos exiliados políticos, políticos, políticos políticos, activistas políticos, periodistas y similares que ya no pueden vivir en su país. el equipo de Alexei Navalny, la fundación anticorrupción que tiene su sede aquí, en Vilna. Ahora uno de esos exiliados políticos es un tipo llamado Roman Udot. Él ha estado monitoreando las elecciones en Rusia durante más de 20 años y hablé con él antes y dijo que ya ha encontrado pruebas de relleno de urnas en las primeras horas de las elecciones y dijo que todo el sistema es corrupto. Empecemos por lo más feo, matan a los opositores, los meten en la cárcel, conducen al exilio. Para que no les dejen huir, las regiones del lejano este han empezado a votar hace varias horas y ya tenemos imágenes, tenemos fotos del relleno de urnas. Cada vez hay más voces que dicen que no sólo estas elecciones son fraudulentas, sino que después cuando el presidente Putin asuma otro mandato de seis años que ese liderazgo debe ser considerado ilegítimo por Occidente. Una de las razones es la votación se está llevando a cabo actualmente en las zonas ocupadas de Ucrania que Rusia se ha anexionado ilegalmente. Alena Hlivko es una ex diputada ucraniana, dijo que los líderes occidentales deben tomar la iniciativa y declarar ilegítima la presidencia de Putin. Si los gobiernos occidentales reconocen esas elecciones como justas, libres y legítimas, ¿dónde obligarán a los territorios ocupados y a los civiles de esas zonas a ir a votar en las falsas elecciones, significa que los gobiernos occidentales de facto reconocen que los territorios ucranianos ahora forman parte de Rusia y no podemos permitir que eso ocurra. Las urnas estarán abiertas durante tres días y el equipo de Navalny pide a los votantes rusos que acudan a las urnas. en colegios electorales como éste y en el interior de Rusia el domingo a mediodía. Lo llaman el mediodía contra Putin y esperan que envíe un mensaje al presidente Putin. Se oponen a su liderazgo y a su guerra en Ucrania. Para ver más vídeos de la ONU, visite www.un.org
