Russian State Duma ready to recognize Ukrainian presidential election
The EU and USA have threatened Russia many times with new economic sanctions if it disrupts the Ukrainian election on May 25.
The new Ukrainian President will not be completely legitimate but it would be much worse if the election was not held at all, Russian Duma speaker Sergey Naryshkin told Russia 24.
It is hard to imagine a legitimate election during “a punitive operation”, ineterfax.ru quotes him. However, it is better to chose the less of two evils, Naryshkin said. He thinks that it would be worse not to hold the election.
