The head of the Syrian-Russian Parliamentary Friendship Committee, a member of the People's Assembly, Bassem Sudan, confirmed that the Russian presidential elections were held in an organized and transparent manner, and witnessed a strong turnout of Russian voters in all regions of Russia, especially in Donbas, pointing out that the Supreme Elections Committee in Russia played its role and secured all means to facilitate the polling.
