Russia's farce in Chechenya completely failed


Statement of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Russia’s farce with the so-called ‘presidential elections’ in Chechnya yesterday completely failed. There were no elections as there were no voters. Only Russian genocidal troops and a few thousands of employees of Russian occupational structures in Chechnya participated in this spectacle.

The Chechen nation, despite of the threats and violence from the Russian security services and Kadyrov’s criminal gangs, refused to play a role in this farce of free will. The Chechen people once again rejected Russia’s genocidal rule and once again demonstrated that Chechnya cannot be enslaved.
