MOSCOW — Russia’s ruling party remained firmly on track to secure a dominant victory as the country wrapped up a high-stakes parliamentary election. The vote concluded under the shadow of an unprecedented wave of drone attacks targeting the capital and surrounding regions.
President Vladimir Putin had cast the multi-day electoral process as a definitive referendum on public support for the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Despite the disruption caused by aerial bombardments—which struck infrastructure near Moscow and prompted sweeping security measures—election authorities reported robust turnout figures approaching 57%.
Critics and independent observers noted that with most prominent anti-war and opposition figures barred from the ballot, the outcome was heavily engineered. Nonetheless, the Kremlin is expected to leverage the projected win by the United Russia party as clear evidence of national unity and unwavering public backing for its wartime policies.
Official preliminary results are slated to be released as election commissions finalize counts from the tightly controlled polls.
