MOSCOW: Russia´s ruling party won a resounding victory in every regional election it contested last week, official results showed on Monday, in what authorities cast as a show of support for President Vladimir Putin´s government.
Russia has banned, jailed or exiled all major opposition politicians since launching the Ukraine offensive in 2022, with elections largely becoming a rubber stamp for Putin and his United Russia party.
The heads of 21 regions went up for election between September 6-8, including the region of Kursk, where Ukraine still controls dozens of villages after mounting a major cross-border offensive last month.
