Russia's parliamentary election: heaviest drone strikes overshadow Russia's Duma election
In the midst of an aggressive war, Russia is holding a parliamentary election without opposition. On the last day of voting, Ukraine is sending hundreds of drones. Moscow is commenting on Kyiv's "unprecedented" attempts to disrupt the vote.
Russia's three-day parliamentary election was marred by massive Ukrainian drone attacks on Moscow on the final day of voting. The Central Election Commission's head, Ella Pamfilowa, reported unprecedented attacks aimed at disrupting the election, but claimed that attempts to interfere with online voting had failed. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Selenskyj confirmed attacks on the Moscow region, targeting a key oil industry company and a logistics facility.
The Kremlin party, United Russia, was expected to win a significant victory, with President Vladimir Putin viewing the election as a referendum on his continued war against Ukraine.
