The Foreign Secretary said, “Putin removes his political opponents, controls the media, and then crowns himself the winner.
“This is not democracy.”
He said, that there’s been “widespread reports of electoral violations,” and any potential opponent who spoke of anti-war views was “swiftly disqualified.”
