Russia holds parliamentary vote in areas it seized from Ukraine in the war
Russia held a parliamentary election that, for the first time, included residents of four Ukrainian regions that Russia annexed after invading Ukraine.

The election has now concluded, with results strongly favoring the Kremlin.
