Russia is holding its first parliamentary elections since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine more than four and a half years ago. Voting is taking place in regions of Ukraine that Russia has illegally annexed, as well as within Russia itself. According to NPR News, this marks the first time that Russia's parliamentary election is being held in areas it seized from Ukraine. Deutsche Welle reports that the election is tightly controlled, with President Vladimir Putin's party, United Russia, expected to dominate the results. France24 English notes that the only party in Russia that criticized the war has been excluded from the ballot, and the election is taking place as Ukraine continues to conduct strikes. Al Jazeera English adds that Russia has reported 'powerful' cyberattacks on the second day of the vote, which is being used to gauge public support for the ongoing war.
