EU Parliament Rejects Russian Duma Elections, Urges More Sanctions

The European Parliament voted overwhelmingly (482-41-39) to reject the legitimacy of the Russian Duma elections and called for additional sanctions against Russia. This is a continuation of the EU's established policy of non-recognition and pressure, but the explicit call for further sanctions signals potential escalation in EU-Russia tensions. The resolution is non-binding, so its impact depends on subsequent Council action.
