    The Carter Center (cited by that BBC piece) is funded by various western governments including the US, as well as CIA-affiliated regime-change orgs like the National Endowment for Democracy. They are not a neutral party.

    The “pro-Kremlin” smear is similarly questionable as it is promoted by the same groups.

      Curious which American election observers are neutral parties then, if you refuse to believe that the Carter Center is unbiased. Because I’ll bet you I can use similar mental gymnastics to tie every single American election observer to one side or the other (or even both, just for fun).
