Ukraine war briefing: Russia bans voting against the war
The Guardian reports that Russia is further restricting political dissent, including the ability to vote against the government's war policy. The development matters beyond Russia's domestic politics because it strengthens the Kremlin's internal control over a war that increasingly depends on mobilisation, military spending and public compliance. It also highlights how the conflict is being fought through political repression as well as military force.
