Russian President Vladimir Putin: The State Duma elections will be held strictly in accordance with the law within the stipulated timeframe.

The Arctic vessel Express docked at a US‑sanctioned floating storage unit in Russia’s Murmansk region and loaded gas from the Arctic LNG 2 project — the first time the ship has carried gas from a blacklisted source. Arctic Express entered service in 2007 and was reflagged to Russia in May. Tracking‑data analysis shows at least 21 vessels have been used to transport LNG from sanctioned Russian projects, indicating Moscow is enlarging its fleet to evade Western restrictions. The biggest remaining barrier to Arctic LNG 2 exports is a shortage of ships able to deliver cargoes to buyers.
