Partidul lui Putin va avea 80% din mandate în Duma de Stat, după alegerile parlamentare. „O aparență de democrație”, spune UE

The pro-Kremlin party "United Russia" secured 57.83% of the votes in the recent parliamentary elections, maintaining a significant majority in the State Duma. Despite claims of a fair election process, the EU criticized the elections as a facade of democracy, highlighting the suppression of dissent and exclusion of opposition parties. The turnout was reported at 59.3%, with other parties like the Communists and LDPR also gaining seats. However, the anti-war party "Yabloko" only managed to enter a regional parliament. EU officials condemned the elections, stating they reflect a major failure for Russian democracy and proposed sanctions against those involved in the electoral process in occupied Ukrainian territories.
