Putin's Party to Retain Power After Russian Elections Where Anti-War Parties Were Banned
- On Sunday, President Vladimir Putin's ruling United Russia party secured a large majority in parliamentary elections, retaining its two-thirds majority of the 450 seats in the State Duma.
- The Kremlin tightly controlled the contest, barring the anti-war Yabloko party last month for alleged electoral rule violations while all participating parties supported the war.
- Massive Ukrainian drone strikes targeted Moscow on Sunday, the final day of voting, involving nearly 1,600 drones; Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin called it the largest attack of the war.
- Russia vowed to "intensify" high-accuracy strikes against military targets in Kyiv, accusing Ukraine of attempting to "disrupt the democratic will of Russian citizens."
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy praised the long-range responses, though he faces pressure from US President Donald Trump to halt refinery attacks amid fears of a new Russian mass mobilization.
