Residents of Mariupol voted on Friday in Russia's parliamentary election, marking the first time people in territories administered by Moscow in eastern and southern Ukraine have participated in a State Duma vote. Polling stations opened as part of a three-day nationwide election that Russian authorities say includes more than 3.5 million eligible voters in the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions under Russian control. Voters are electing lawmakers through party lists and single-member constituencies, with the ruling United Russia party expected to retain its dominant position in parliament. Russian officials said voting in the territories had been extended over several weeks for security reasons. #russia #mariupol #russiaelection #duma #parliamentaryelection #unitedrussia #kremlin #ukrainewar #worldnews #breakingnews #geopolitics #russianpolitics #donetsk #luhansk #kherson #zaporizhzhia #election2026 #internationalnews #mariupolnews #russiaukraine In this Times Now W
