What Russia’s Parliamentary Election Results Mean for Putin and the War
Trump’s latest comments on the matter came Monday.
“Russia has unfortunately lost control of its Diesel Oil Industry due to its War with Ukraine. A large number of their Diesel refineries have been blown up and are, at least temporarily, out of commission,” Trump said on Truth Social on Sept. 21. “This ridiculous and never ending War with Ukraine must be ended.”
Beginning Saturday, as Russia entered its last day of voting, the government said it intercepted more than 1,600 Ukrainian drones, including 450 directed toward Moscow. The figures, attributed to Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin and reported by state media TASS, have not been independently verified.
According to a statement by Sobyanin on Telegram, this was the largest ever drone attack on the Russian capital, damaging the city’s oil refinery.
How the world reacted to the preliminary election results
European powers have largely condemned the results. That includes France’s foreign ministry, which released a statement on Monday saying that the vote did not meet the conditions for “free, pluralistic, democratic elections.”
