North Koreans held a free and fair vote to elect Kim Jong un.
Russians held a free and fair vote to elect Vladimir Putin.
Filipinos held a free and fair vote to elect Duterte.
Turks held a free and fair vote to elect Erdogan.
Germans held a free and fair vote to elect Adolf Hitler, in the past.
Americans held a free and fair vote to elect Donald Trump.
They are all authoritarian rulers, yet free and fair.
When Russian bots trick gullible voters into doing something in their favor, is it still free and fair?

Also before that, Russia promised to respect Ukraine's borders as part of the agreement where Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons.

--------
According to the memorandum, [14] Russia, the US, and the UK confirmed, in recognition of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and in effect abandoning its nuclear arsenal to Russia, that they would:
  1. Respect Belarusian, Kazakh and Ukrainian independence and sovereignty and the existing borders. [15]
  2. Refrain from the threat or use of force against Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine.
  3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine in order to influence its politics.
  4. Seek immediate United Nations Security Council action to provide assistance to Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine, "if Belarus/Kazakhstan/Ukraine should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".
  5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine.
  6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding these commitments. [11] [16]
