Lithuanian Foreign Ministry does not consider the presidential election in Russia free and democratic, the head of department Linas Linkiavicius told BNS.
We do not consider them free and democratic, judging by how administrative resources were used, how everything was controlled
- quotes the minister Delfi.
He added that the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry does not recognize the presidential elections in Russia on the territory of Crimea, because they "violate the territorial integrity of Ukraine."
Elections were held on the day of the annexation of the Crimea - this is also not a random choice of date.
- noted Linkyavichyus.
Earlier in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine was registered a draft law on non-recognition of the presidential elections in Russia.
The holding of elections in the Crimea was criticized by the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko.
