United Russia progresses in elections
The results of the Russian parliamentary elections showed the United Russia Party leading with 57.5% of the votes after 14% of the ballots were counted. Meanwhile, President Vladimir Putin considered the voting a test of support for the war in Ukraine. In response to Ukrainian attacks, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the downing of 1,951 drones and 8 cruise missiles within 24 hours, vowing to intensify strikes on military targets in Kyiv. This military escalation coincided with the election voting, amid widespread drone attacks on Moscow.
