Russia weighs declaring martial law after September Duma elections
Russian authorities are reportedly considering formally introducing martial law or elements of it after the State Duma elections planned for September, according to the Russian outlet Wiorstka, citing sources in the federal administration, regional authorities and one parliamentary faction's leadership. Such a move would formally sanction the de facto wartime conditions Russia has operated under since the invasion of Ukraine. The reports point to a potential tightening of the regime following the vote.
