Russia's presidential vote starts final day with accusations of Kyiv sabotage.
A man casts his ballot at a polling station during the presidential election in the Chechen capital Grozny, Russia, March 16, 2024.Russia started its final day of presidential voting on Sunday with Moscow accusing Ukraine of using air attacks to try to sabotage the election that is expected to keep President Vladimir Putin in power for another six years.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy did not address the reported attacks in his nightly video address on Saturday, but he thanked his military forces and intelligence “for the new Ukrainian long-range capabilities.” The “Noon Against Putin” action, endorsed by Navalny’s widow Yulia Navalnaya, is presented as a way for people to express opposition without the risk of arrest because they will be queuing up to vote legally. The Kremlin has warned people against taking part in unauthorised gatherings.
