🎙Comment of the Ambassador of Russia to Canada, Oleg Stepanov, to ITAR-TASS News Agency regarding Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs A.Anand's statement on the recent elections to the State Duma of the Russian Federation (Ottawa, September 21, 2026)

Statements of this nature are difficult to take seriously.

❗️If the Foreign Minister believes that her views on this matter are of particular relevance to the Russian public, I am afraid that assumption may be misplaced. Elections in Russia are a matter for Russian citizens to decide.

The Government of Canada would be better served by focusing on issues of concern to Canadians and by refraining from interference in the internal affairs of sovereign states.
