Russia: Putin party retains majority in parliamentary vote

President Vladimir Putin's party secured a supermajority in the Russian parliamentary elections, maintaining its grip on the legislature.

The election saw the entry of 49 Ukraine war veterans into parliament, who are described as a new political elite. Despite the official victory, reports indicate that Russians voting from abroad overwhelmingly opposed Putin's party.
