Election Day: Russian Parliamentary Election Marred by Irregularities
On the last day of voting, Russia reports a large-scale drone attack on Moscow. Opposition activists report irregularities and obstruction of election observers.
The final day of Russia's parliamentary election was marred by Ukrainian drone attacks and reports of irregularities. The election for the 450-seat State Duma took place from Friday to Sunday, with voting also held in occupied Ukrainian regions, including Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson, as well as the annexed Crimean peninsula.
The Ukrainian government condemned the vote as illegal, and the EU called it a "blatant violation of international law." The election was also marked by reports of problems with electronic voting systems in Moscow and allegations of voter intimidation.
