United Russia Wins Record Majority in Russia's Wartime State Duma Election
Russia's ruling United Russia party won a record 349 of 450 seats in the State Duma in the country's first wartime parliamentary election since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. The election, held over three days with nearly 60% turnout, included voting in annexed Ukrainian regions, which Kyiv condemned as illegal. The Kremlin highlighted the election as public support for its policies, with veterans winning several seats. Smaller parties aligned with the Kremlin secured most remaining seats, maintaining strong political control.
