Russia’s election wasn’t a real election, Germany’s Baerbock says

PARIS (Reuters) – The election in Russia was not a real election, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said on Monday.

“Russia’s election was an election without choice,” she said at the start of a summit of European foreign ministers.

She also said that the EU would pave the way for new sanctions against Russia.
