Russia Reports Cyber Attacks on Voting System During Parliamentary Election
- On Saturday, Russian authorities reported cyber attacks on voting systems and communication lines during the three-day parliamentary election, with Central Election Commission head Ella Pamfilova confirming Moscow's online voting platform faced a "strong attack" overnight.
- The Ukrainian foreign ministry warned that citizens in Russian-occupied territories are being "held at gunpoint" to participate in elections that "bear no resemblance to democracy," undermining the vote's legitimacy.
- Separately, the election triggered a diplomatic row with Moldova over 15 planned polling stations in Transnistria; Moldovan Foreign Minister Mihail Popsoi told Moscow "not to interfere with Moldova's plans for peaceful reintegration."
- Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova retorted by urging Moldova to halt actions that "run against democracy, international law and common sense," as Moscow claims 220,000 residents in Transnistria hold Russian passports.
- Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov denied reports that the White House is considering business deals with Russia before the Ukraine conflict ends, telling the RIA state news agency officials have heard "exactly the opposite stance" from Washington.
