Russia wraps up first wartime parliamentary election with Kremlin dominance all but assured

Russia is wrapping up its first parliamentary election conducted during wartime, with the vote concluding on Sunday. The election is taking place virtually devoid of opposition to President Vladimir Putin's policies.

The outcome is all but certain to cement the Kremlin's dominance over the country's political landscape. The final day of voting coincides with ongoing military activity, marked by Ukrainian forces firing more than 1,000 drones.
