Russian wartime elections bolster Kremlin
The Russians began their voting in the first parliamentary election held amid the Ukrainian war, which centers on reinforcing the Kremlin's dominance. The election heavily focuses on supporting the government's wartime policies, with limited participation from opposition parties. It is expected that the "United Russia" party led by Putin will continue to dominate the State Duma. Voter turnout is estimated to be between 111 million eligible voters, with electronic voting available, and the election process will last for three days. This takes place as part of the Kremlin's efforts to ensure popular support for the war and to prevent any opposition; opposition parties and activists have been excluded. Meanwhile, Ukraine does not recognize the vote in the occupied territories as legitimate and warns of the consequences for those participating.
