Putin's United Russia party wins record 355 seats in wartime election
Russia's ruling United Russia party secured a constitutional majority in the State Duma, winning a record 355 seats in the 450-seat parliament. The outcome was widely expected, given the Kremlin's tight grip on the political system, despite over four years of war in Ukraine. The only anti-war party, Yabloko, was banned from the ballot by the Supreme Court just twelve days after being registered.
