In the draft resolution, after paragraph 12, insert the following paragraph:

"The Assembly further condemns the coercion of Ukrainian citizens in the temporarily occupied territories into participating in Russia’s so-called electoral processes. It stresses that any participation obtained under occupation, coercion or pressure cannot be interpreted as an expression of free political will, nor used to legitimise Russia’s attempted illegal annexation of Ukrainian territories."
