Russia: Final day of legislative elections, expected victory for Putin's party
Russian voters are casting ballots on Sunday for the third and final day of a legislative election also being held in Ukrainian territories occupied and annexed by Moscow.
Russians are heading to the polls on Sunday for the last day of legislative elections, according to France 24. This vote, which spans three days, marks the first election of its kind since Russia launched its large-scale offensive against Ukraine in 2022.
According to the source, these elections are also taking place in Ukrainian territories occupied and annexed by Russia, a practice condemned by Kyiv and its Western allies who do not recognize these annexations.
France 24 indicates that this election is expected to result, unsurprisingly, in a victory for Vladimir Putin's party. The outlet tracked the voting day developments live.
No additional details about final results, voter turnout, or international reactions were provided by the source at this stage.
