Russia shall hold elections in four Ukrainian regions it claims to have annexed.
The Central Electoral Commission has set September 10 as the date for elections to coincide with elections in other Russian regions, the state-run RIA news agency reported.
According to TASS, another state news agency, committee chairperson Ela Pamfilova said that the Russian Defence Ministry and the Federal Security Service (FSB) had decided that the vote could be held in September.
Russia does not fully control the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia, and Kherson regions in eastern and southern Ukraine and fighting continues in all four. Elections to elect local governors are scheduled to be held in September.
Russia declared the regions part of its territory after holding so-called snap referendums in the occupied territories of Ukraine last September, which the West and Kyiv denounced as illegal and coercive.
