The United Russia party achieved a significant victory in recent elections, winning 355 out of 450 seats in the Duma, surpassing its previous record. This election marks the first since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine and includes 49 deputies who are veterans of the conflict, reinforcing the party's narrative of support for the war.
The election results will likely embolden the Kremlin's narrative around the war, especially with veterans in parliament. Watch for potential legislative moves that could further entrench military support and impact domestic policies as the conflict evolves.
