Norway strongly condemns so-called “elections”  in illegally annexed Crimea

Russia conducted partial regional and local elections, including in the illegally annexed Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, on 6–8 September. These so-called “elections” are yet another blatant expression of Russia's continued violation of international law, the UN Charter and Ukraine's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity.

Norway stands firmly with Ukraine and will continue to hold Russia accountable for its brutal war and criminal actions in Ukraine.
