RUSSIA-ELECTION/

Russia concluded its first wartime parliamentary election with United Russia leading at 58%, likely solidifying Kremlin policies. Voting occurred across various locations, including Moscow, Vladivostok, and Krasnoyarsk, where electoral commissions visited hospitals and police monitored polling stations. Observers were present in Vladivostok, where commissions counted ballots after closure. Notably, the election included residents from four Ukrainian regions illegally annexed by Moscow, though Russia does not maintain full control over these specific territories during the conflict.
