Europe2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported15m ago
Russians are casting ballots in a multi-day election that includes filling 450 Duma seats and 11 regional governorships. President Vladimir Putin views the vote as a direct barometer of public support for his military campaign in the ongoing war in Ukraine.
The electoral landscape features only political parties that back Putin and the war effort, leaving no opposing parties on the ballot. The vote takes place amid widespread public concerns regarding economic pressure, potential war fatigue, and persistent speculation about a possible new military mobilization despite official denials.
