The EU Parliament declares Putin illegitimate – Russia widens the Otjertyne bulge via heavy losses – The US prepares new major aid delivery – Cornucopia?

The EU Parliament has overwhelmingly voted through a resolution that declares that Putin’s election theater in March was illegitimate, and thus, from the perspective of the EU, Putin is not to be regarded as Russia’s president either. The Russian Otjertyne bulge is widened, but at the cost of heavy Russian losses. The US is preparing a new aid delivery to Ukraine six times larger than the one delivered starting this week. Sources within the FSB confirm that the Russian deputy defense minister who was arrested for corruption had actually committed treason (=against Putin).

The EU Parliament voted with an 87.2% majority that the Russian presidential election theater in March was illegitimate and that the EU Parliament therefore does not recognize Putin as President of Russia. Member states are urged to limit relations with Putin and the Putin regime to matters related to the war, prisoners and humanitarian aid.

The resolution can be found here.

One of the sawings in the resolution reads:

“whereas the so-called presidential election held by Russia from 15 to 17 March 2024 was conducted without any political competition, in a severely restricted environment of systemic and grave repression and during the Russian Federation’s illegal war of aggression against Ukraine; whereas there were reports of voters being intimidated, voters being denied their right to vote, ballot boxes being stuffed, protocols from the precincts being falsified on a massive scale and independent domestic election observers being detained; whereas Russia illegally organized voting in the occupied Ukrainian territories of Crimea, Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia, at times amid violence and threats by armed Russian soldiers; whereas Russia also has a record of organizing illegal voting in Abkhazia and South Ossetia and in Transnistria, against the will of the Georgian and Moldovan authorities;”

However, it is only a small part of the total sawing, see e.g.:

“Concludes that this farcical performance by the Russian authorities had the single goal of creating the appearance of electoral legitimacy for Vladimir Putinhis policy of relentless domestic repression and, most of all, the war of aggression against Ukraine;”

87.2% also shows how strong the political opposition to Putin is in the EU Parliament. Putin now hopes, via the foreign intelligence service SVR’s work and other influence operations, to get more Putinists into the EU Parliament in the upcoming EU elections.
