Russia's United Russia party, led by Vladimir Putin, won a record supermajority in the Duma, electoral chief Ella Pamfilova announced Monday. Preliminary results showed United Russia secured 355 of the 450 seats, surpassing its previous record of 343 seats and allowing it to pursue constitutional changes. The election was held over three days and did not include parties critical of the Kremlin or the war in Ukraine. The Kremlin said the results demonstrated that Russians are united around Putin. This was the first parliamentary election since Moscow sent troops to Ukraine in 2022. The conflict has killed hundreds of thousands and displaced millions in Ukraine.
