The Russian President, Vladimir Putin, called for strengthening the political situation in Russia two weeks before the legislative elections scheduled for September. The Russian leader emphasized the importance of supporting the men currently fighting in Ukraine.
Putin specifically referred to the need to guarantee political stability at a time when thousands of Russian soldiers are participating in the military operation in Ukraine. Support for the fighters was presented as a national priority.
The Russian legislative elections are scheduled for mid-September, in a context marked by the conflict in Ukraine. The electoral campaign is taking place while Russia maintains its military operation on Ukrainian territory.
Putin's message comes at a time when the Russian government seeks to mobilize the population's support for the war and for the upcoming electoral process.
