> Russian authorities said electronic voting systems and communications infrastructure were attacked as the three-day parliamentary election entered its second day. The Central Election Commission reported a major cyberattack on Moscow’s online voting system, while the claims could not be independently verified. Voting was also held for the first time in Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories, whose results the EU says it will not recognize.
