Voting in Russia’s parliamentary election entered its final day on 20 September, Reuters reported. The ruling United Russia party was expected to remain dominant; that expectation was not a final election result.
President Vladimir Putin portrayed the vote as a measure of support for the war in Ukraine. Reuters reported that most anti-war candidates had been excluded. Initial results were expected later on Sunday, with a fuller picture on Monday.
