Putin called the election

Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced parliamentary elections for September 20th. The elections will include residents of occupied areas in eastern Ukraine, such as Donbas, and regions referred to by Russia as 'New Russia.' These areas were previously part of Ukrainian regions like Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson, Mykolaiv, and Odessa. According to reports, the ruling United Russia party is expected to lose its constitutional majority due to declining support.

Parlamentarne volitve v Rusiji bodo 20. septembra

Mladina / STA 16. 6. 2026

Ruski predsednik Vladimir Putin je za 20. september razpisal volitve v državno dumo, je razvidno z ruskega vladnega portala pravnih aktov. Volitve naj bi zaznamoval padec podpore tako Kremlju kot vladajoči stranki Enotna Rusija. Na njih naj bi prvič sodelovali prebivalci Donbasa in drugih ozemelj v Ukrajini, ki jih zaseda Rusija.

Poleg prebivalcev Donbasa na vzhodu Ukrajine bodo na volitvah po poročanju ruske tiskovne agencije Tass prvič sodelovali tudi prebivalci t. i. Nove Rusije.

Ta izraz, ki je v preteklosti označeval ozemlja Ruskega imperija severno od Črnega in Azovskega morja, je Putin v intervjuju aprila 2014 uporabil kot ime za ozemlja ukrajinskih regij Lugansk, Doneck, Herson, Mikolajiv in Odesa, kažejo podatki na spletu. Kmalu zatem sta se po razglasitvi svoje neodvisnosti Donecka in Luganska ljudska republika združili v konfederacijo Nova Rusija.

Poleg volitev v dumo bodo ruski volivci septembra izbirali tudi predstavnike na drugih političnih ravneh, lokalnih in regionalnih. Skupno bodo izvolili več kot 20.700 poslancev in drugih izvoljenih funkcionarjev.

Podpora vladajoči Enotni Rusiji je v zadnjih mesecih padla pod 30 odstotkov in se približuje zgodovinsko najnižji ravni 26,4 odstotka iz avgusta 2021. Po napovedih stranki na volitvah ne bo uspelo ohraniti ustavne večine.

Med razlogi za padec podpore analitiki navajajo utrujenost od vojne, ukrajinske vse pogostejše napade na cilje v notranjosti Rusije, naraščajoče življenjske stroške in omejevanje dostopa do interneta, navaja španska tiskovna agencija EFE.

Bias read (Left): The article highlights the decline in support for the ruling United Russia party and mentions the inclusion of residents from occupied territories in the election process, which frames the event as a potential loss of power for the current administration. This framing suggests a critical perspective
