Ukraine has called on the international community to respond to Russia's illegal presidential elections in the occupied Ukrainian territories. The invaders want to hold the pseudo-vote in mid-March. Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets explained why these elections are illegal  , UNN reports.

I emphasize that by its actions, the Russian Federation is once again grossly violating the Constitution and legislation of Ukraine, as well as the fundamental norms and principles of international law, in particular the UN Charter. I would also like to address the issue of possible liability for participation in the so-called "elections", as I receive many appeals from citizens on this issue.

- Lubinets noted.
