Ukraine sanctions 44 over Russian sham elections in occupied territories
Original: Ukraine sanctions 44 people involved in Russia's sham parliamentary elections in occupied territories
Ukraine has imposed sanctions on 44 people whom Kyiv says were involved in organizing Russia's parliamentary elections in occupied Ukrainian territories. The vote, held in September in areas Moscow annexed but does not fully control, was widely condemned by Ukraine and its Western partners as illegitimate. The sanctions target individuals Ukraine considers complicit in entrenching Russian authority there.
Why now: Russia recently held parliamentary elections in occupied Ukrainian territories that Ukraine and Western countries denounce as illegal.
