Russians begin three-day parliamentary election with no real opposition
Voting is underway in Russia's closely monitored parliamentary election, which commenced on Friday, with outcomes anticipated after polling stations close on Sunday. The United Russia party, led by President Vladimir Putin, is poised to prolong its 23-year control of parliament. The liberal anti-war party Yabloko was barred from the ballot last month, removing the only force openly challenging the invasion of Ukraine.
