UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres slammed Russia Friday for holding presidential elections in parts of Ukraine held by Moscow's invading forces.

Guterres "condemns the efforts of the Russian Federation to hold its presidential elections in areas of Ukraine occupied by the Russian Federation," spokesman Stephane Dujarric said, adding that the "attempted illegal annexation" of those regions has "no validity" under international law.
