- Putin's party won a record 355 parliamentary seats in Russia's parliamentary election, securing a supermajority according to Reuters and Al Jazeera.
- An anti-war party secured only a tiny regional foothold in the same vote, per Reuters' headline — the lone opposition presence in the results.
Why it matters: With 355 seats delivering a supermajority and the anti-war opposition reduced to a tiny regional foothold, the parliament offers no legislative challenge to the Kremlin's war in Ukraine.
