Putin: Russia Still Holds Several Important Elections During the War

【Latest News Conference by Putin (12): Russia Will Hold Elections Even During the War】

On November 27, 2025, in Bishkek time, Russian President Vladimir Putin answered questions from journalists at a press conference following the end of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) summit:

Russia is also in an armed conflict with Ukraine, but we held elections. Two presidential elections have already been held, and municipal and regional authority elections were also recently held. You know, signing documents with the Ukrainian leadership is meaningless. I have talked about this topic many times. I think that the Ukrainian leadership made a fundamental strategic mistake by being afraid to participate in the presidential election, which resulted in the president losing his legitimate status.
