Putin's party wins record Duma majority in Kremlin-controlled elections as EU vows sanctions
Euronews reports that Putin’s United Russia party secured a record parliamentary majority in Russia’s latest Duma election. The international issue is the vote held in Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories, which Ukraine and five Western governments condemned as illegal. At the same time, a Ukrainian drone strike hit Moscow and killed two people according to Euronews. The election therefore unfolded alongside a major escalation in the war itself.
