There's solid proof of Russian interference, I think this was the only option. All the candidates were dire and when the election happens again it's still going to be just as awful.

I assumed it was good news and they'd get rid of the Russian-supported candidates

A few days ago they recounted the votes and said it was ok, now they change their mind while the diaspora had already started voting... it's a slippery slope. And now it feels like interference from the other side tbh.

Clearly there was Russian interference, yes, but the way this was handled is poor

I'm not gonna lie, this whole thing is confusing.

And creates a really nasty precedent of let's just annul things if we don't like the result.

I agree. The result is bad and should be annulled, but where does it end? There needs to be checks and balances as they say. You can't just do that if you dont like it.
