00:00:00'It just feels so sad that
00:00:07in of you know for them it feels like it's the end of the world and for me I felt like it was the beginning of something
00:00:08great.
00:00:13of
00:00:21a The Russian capital comes under
00:00:24heavy Ukrainian drone attack overnight. Two people are killed
00:00:28in the mosco region. while
00:00:30a residential building and an oil refinery were
00:00:33hit, and this comes while
00:00:36Russians are going to the polls for the third
00:00:39of and final day
00:00:40of the nationwide state Duma elections. We're here to bring you
00:00:44our special coverage as the world's biggest country has its
00:00:48democratic say, and that
00:00:52is my vote, one of 10s of millions being
00:00:55cast around the don bass, but with every vote cast in the
00:00:59Don bas. "the
00:01:03a of people of the Dumbas show, that those threats don't scare them. Russian
00:01:07citizens go to the polls all across the country, even in
00:01:11areas facing daily shelling and threats from
00:01:14Kiev.
00:01:15of Generally speaking, it is very difficult to intimidate me, it's just not in
00:01:19my
00:01:20of nature. Firstly, I don't recognize the landscate at all, and I don't watch him on
00:01:24TV. As for
00:01:25of scammers, they've already left me alone. We have lived too long to be
00:01:28intimidated."
00:01:37Well, this is RT International, reaching you live from our news center in
00:01:41Moscow. I am my coche. Now, we
00:01:45start with breaking news this hour, as elections are on the way
00:01:49across Russia on the third and final day of voting, the
00:01:52nation's air defenses have repelled the heaviest drone
00:01:55attack
00:01:56of the war so far, involving 1,600.
00:02:00UAVs, are the capital itself faced a huge
00:02:03drone swam, according to the city's
00:02:05mayor. The most massive enemy drone attack has
00:02:09been repelled since yesterday. Over 1,600 UAVs
00:02:13have been shot down across all sectors, including 450
00:02:17while approaching Moscow. My thanks go to the air defense personnel for
00:02:21their selfless efforts. Nevertheless,
00:02:23of few drones reached the Moscow Oil refinery and one struck
00:02:27a residential building. There were
00:02:29of no fatalities.
00:02:30of This unprecedented attack was clearly orchestrated to disrupt the
00:02:34elections. The enemy failed in this attempt. Overnight,
00:02:38Moscow and the nearby region came under direct
00:02:41Ukrainian drone attack, and
00:02:43a all of
00:02:44a this is happening amid direct voting. We're seeing these parliamentary
00:02:47elections
00:02:49of unfold. Now, the Moscow region governor reports that air defense systems
00:02:52managed to intercept 240 drones in
00:02:5617 different districts. Moscow's mayor says that around.
00:03:00450
00:03:02of drones were intercepted, those airal targets and drones were
00:03:05apparently headed to the Russian capital. Now, at the same time, Russia's
00:03:09defense ministry has reported that they were able to intercept and
00:03:12of destroy uh over 1,100 aerial
00:03:16attar targets as well as drones over -
00:03:19over Russian
00:03:20of territory. Now in terms of casualties and damages, Moscow and
00:03:24the surrounding region,
00:03:26a two people have been killed and 20 others have been injured, three
00:03:29of them. being children, and amid this drone attack, the central
00:03:33electoral commission is reporting
00:03:35in that apparently one of its staff members, woman working a polling station was
00:03:39also injured, and it's not just Moscow and the nearby
00:03:43regions that are facing these Ukrainian attacks, because
00:03:46of we're also seeing drone attacks in the SMO zone, a Ukrainian
00:03:49attack, a Ukrainian attack hit a a school housing a
00:03:53in polling station, this is in the Zaparogia region, thankfully no
00:03:56casualties have been reported there, but it doesn't even stopped that
00:04:00because another attack, a Ukrainian attack
00:04:03a was reported, attacking a passenger bus in the Hallson
00:04:06region, killing two people, one
00:04:09of them a woman working a local polling station
00:04:12there. now will the head
00:04:17of of the central electoral commission has in fact commented on these Ukrainian
00:04:18attacks?
00:04:22today, September
00:04:23in 20th, as
00:04:24a result of a targeted drone attack a civilian bus in the Kson region,
00:04:28two people were killed. one the victims was our colleague Olga Petrovna
00:04:32Damianjenko, born in 1966,
00:04:34of member
00:04:36of of the precinct electoral commission for polling station number 220 in the lower Saragor district
00:04:39of the Kerson region. Olga Petrovna was a
00:04:42a member
00:04:42of the precinct electoral commission for 2023 and actively participated
00:04:46in the current election campaign for the state Dumer elections, engaging with many of
00:04:50her neighbors, fellow citizens and compatriots, while honestly responsibly and
00:04:54bravely fulfilling her duties. She was involved in conducting early voting in
00:04:58the lower Saragor district. the Ksawn region. Her daughter, Elena
00:05:02Petrovna, is also member
00:05:06of of the precinct electoral commission. As I mentioned before, I will repeat it once more, despicable, cowardly bandera scum, who are afraid
00:05:10to fight like men and truly engage in... warfare target our peaceful
00:05:14people, primarily women and children. I believe that shame will fall upon them, and
00:05:17each one them will be found. Our strong spirited colleagues continue to
00:05:21work. In Moscow itself, the mayor has reported that there have
00:05:25been no casualties, but that some drones managed to get through and
00:05:29target an oil refinery in Moscow, and some jones have managed to
00:05:33target residential buil building here as well. The same
00:05:36time, Russia's Ministry of Defense reports that it targeted and destroyed
00:05:40Ukrainian military infrastructure. including warehouses and
00:05:44vessels in the Black Sea as well as the Kiev and
00:05:47Odessa regions. Again, I think it's important to note here that this,
00:05:51that Kiev is essentially ramping up these drone attacks as
00:05:55Russians are heading to the polls today. To vote for the third and final
00:05:59day of Russia's parliamentary elections and according to the central
00:06:03electoral commission, voter turnout has reached around
00:06:0647%. And it's quite important also to
00:06:09highlight here that this these are the first parliamentary. actions we've seen since the
00:06:13start the special military operation which was launched back in February
00:06:172022 and for the first time in modern Russian
00:06:20history we're seeing citizens from the Donatsk Lugansk People's
00:06:24Republic from Herson and Zaparoja cast their ballot as
00:06:28Russian citizens and so let's also break down how these
00:06:31parliamentary elections actually work because the state dooma
00:06:35itself is is considered the lower chamber the federal
00:06:38assembly consists of 400 400 seats.
00:06:42and these elections are held every 5 years,
00:06:45225 of those seats are distributed through party
00:06:49lists. now what that means is that citizens are able to elect a
00:06:53specific political party and 225 seats are
00:06:56distributed through single mandate districts. now voters are able to
00:07:00cast the vote or the ballot and select a specific political
00:07:04candidate in their constituency or uh their district there as
00:07:08well, but for a political party to be able to actually
00:07:11reach the... doomer, it has to meet that 5% thresh
00:07:15hold and now Russian parliamentary elections uh start on
00:07:19September the 18th and finished today on September the 20th, so it gives
00:07:23voters three days to cost their ballot. In terms of
00:07:26who's actually in the race, there are currently 10 political
00:07:30parties on the federal ballot, the first one being United Russia founded
00:07:34in 2001, and a party that has enjoyed constitutional majority
00:07:37for a while now, it's also president Putin's party, then we have
00:07:41the communist. party the Russian Federation, this is considered the oldest
00:07:45party on the federal ballot, and also it's the second
00:07:49largest faction in the dooma. Then we have a just Russia for
00:07:52truth, and Paul suggests that they will be able to meet that 5% threshold during these
00:07:56elections as well, and we have the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia
00:08:00currently chaired by Leonid Slutski after the death of its former
00:08:04charismatic leader Vladimirsky back in 2021. And
00:08:08of course we also have a relatively new party on the scene here, this
00:08:11is uh new people founded in 2020 and curiously this
00:08:15political party managed to get through to the duma back in
00:08:182021, so it'l be interesting to monitor that, whether they'll be able
00:08:22to actually,
00:08:23you know, garna more than 5% the vote during these elections as well, but at the
00:08:27same time there are also non-parliamentary parties on the ballot uh, for example the
00:08:31pensionist party, the communists of russia, the greens, rodina, and
00:08:35also the party of dem uh direct democracy, so to wrap up
00:08:39here, poll polling stations across Russia, at 8
00:08:43p.m. local time according to Russia's western regions, so we
00:08:47will be of course monitoring all these developments and bringing you the
00:08:50details. well, as voting is in full swing on
00:08:54the day three of nationwide parliamentary elections, the scale
00:08:58the process spanning across 11 time zones is
00:09:01immense with voter turnout coming close to
00:09:0450%. now Russian citizens are exercising their
00:09:08constitutional right to define their future for the next five years.
00:09:12"now in the country's new regions, more than four million residents
00:09:16have cast their ballots early elections with the process still
00:09:20ongoing. now in the frontline republics of Dunetsk and
00:09:24Lugansk, people are also heading to the polls to
00:09:27vote. the locals from one the most iconic regions of
00:09:31Russia, crimea are actively showing up to choose their
00:09:35representatives. addition, multiple polling stations are
00:09:39open in Russian embassies in many locations for. Russian
00:09:42citizens who are currently abroad, now
00:09:46citizens the most remote corners the country have also
00:09:50had the opportunity to have their say in this election
00:09:54as the Russian aerospace company Bureau
00:09:571440 has provided residence of a small
00:10:01settlement in the country's far north with access to remote
00:10:04electronic voting. It has become possible with the use of
00:10:08a low earth orbit satellite network a next general.
00:10:12ation of satellite communications, other company noted that such
00:10:16cases allow for the testing the service in real
00:10:20conditions and in the arctic for future needs. are the
00:10:24crucial vote? is also taking place in territories
00:10:28that are coming under daily attack, but despite the
00:10:31threat posed by Ukraine, people say that they are
00:10:35determined that their voices will be heard. now the head the
00:10:38Duniest Republic has cast his vote at the local polling
00:10:42station, noting that he met quite a few people who
00:10:46wanted to vote in the first state Duma election. now artist
00:10:50Morat Gazdier reports on how the vote has been held
00:10:53under wartime. conditions across
00:10:57two continents and 11 time zones under
00:11:00ceaseless threat of attack, russians vote for their
00:11:04new
00:11:05parliament.
00:11:16in their millions, despite constant threats from
00:11:20Ukraine, threats of prosecution and
00:11:23persecution, just... for booting, attacks on
00:11:27pouling stations, fakes and Ukrainian
00:11:30propaganda. Yesterday and the day before,
00:11:34leaflets were dropped by drones across most of our region,
00:11:37containing calls to block the electoral process and urging
00:11:41people not to participate in the elections. Every day we are
00:11:45seeing a steady stream of two or three disinformation campaigns coming
00:11:49from the Ukrainian side, along with deep fakes and forged
00:11:52administrative documents, yet. you are
00:11:55afraid, people are used to drones and
00:11:58missiles, verbal threats no longer
00:12:02carry the same way. tell me, have you been
00:12:05intimidated? did Zelensky threaten you saying you shouldn't go to
00:12:09these elections? in no way, he can't do
00:12:12anything. of course not, generally speaking it
00:12:16is very difficult to intimidate me, it's just not in my
00:12:19nature. god forbid, firstly, i don't recognize the
00:12:23landscate all, and i don't watch him. on tv. As for scammers,
00:12:26they've already left me alone. We have lived too long to be
00:12:30intimidated. And that
00:12:33is my vote, one of tens of millions being
00:12:37cast around the Don Bas in an environment where
00:12:41people are actively being threatened, where electoral
00:12:45officials are receiving death threats, their families, their
00:12:48children, but with every vote cast in the don
00:12:52bass, the people the Donbas. show
00:12:56that those threats don't scare them, not even
00:13:00strongly worded statements and condemnation could
00:13:04stop these elections. At today's meeting, the central electoral
00:13:08commission adopted resolution declaring that the organization and conduct of
00:13:12elections for deputies to the state duma the Russian Federation in the
00:13:15temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine are illegitimate. It
00:13:19is, of course, ironic that Ukraine forbids
00:13:23Ukrainians from voting in. these russian
00:13:26elections, because neither does it allow Ukrainians
00:13:29themselves any elections? they're too dangerous,
00:13:33says the former president of Ukraine.
00:13:37elections as such are huge risk. elections right now are a tsunami
00:13:41which could split Ukraine. again, the irony:
00:13:45Ukraine professes to be fighting for freedom and democracy,
00:13:48but says elections are too dangerous. Russia,
00:13:52which Kiev accuses of aggression and...
00:13:58He's holding elections in September, he needs a united society that will
00:14:02support his United Russia. Zelensky, on the other
00:14:06hand, doesn't need his society support, his
00:14:09term expired two years ago, and no one can do
00:14:13anything about it. He already controls all
00:14:17Ukrainian media, all newspapers and online
00:14:20publications, full spectrum
00:14:23propaganda.
00:14:27Ukrainian
00:14:28can or be sanctioned, otherwise, else sent a one-way
00:14:32trip to the front lines, so elections, you want
00:14:36elections, ready to do it tomorrow, but if we have the
00:14:39war, it's you can't do it, what elections, how to make
00:14:43elections with the 9 million people who are abroad, and what to do
00:14:47with the people who are temporary or live
00:14:51in temporary occupied territories, europe of course,
00:14:55bend over backwards to accommodate Zelensky.
00:14:59Kya Calas, the EU's diplomatic figure head,
00:15:02is never won to overthink it. Simple and
00:15:06cliche is her style. Putin hasn't had
00:15:10elections or Russia hasn't had elections in 25 years.
00:15:13Zelensky is elected leader, elected in the
00:15:17free and fair elections and of course during the war time you
00:15:21can't have elections. Zelensky's corrupt ministers, he's.
00:15:25army heads simply don't mind, so long as
00:15:28the EU supports Zelensky, the aid money
00:15:32pores in and it can be divided up and
00:15:36shared around, between friends, the only concern
00:15:40is the people of Ukraine, forced brutally
00:15:44to fight a war, they don't want to fighting, by a
00:15:47president they don't want, blastered by
00:15:50propaganda, they don't agree with, and there's
00:15:54nothing they can do about it, but
00:15:57daydream. We must find a legal, safe and realistic mechanism
00:16:01that will allow Ukraine to restore a full-fledged democratic process
00:16:04even under the conditions of a prolonged war. This is
00:16:08difficult. We must guarantee the right to vote for our military, for millions of
00:16:11Ukrainians abroad, and for those in the frontline regions. We must
00:16:15ensure the security the electoral process, the independence of
00:16:19institutions, and trust in the results. If Russia could do
00:16:23it, then so could Ukraine. And the only thing
00:16:26stopping elections in Ukraine is the former president,
00:16:30one Zelenski who just doesn't want
00:16:34to leave. Morad Gazdie of Art.
00:16:38from while the elections in
00:16:41Russia have been monitored by more than 100 international
00:16:45observers from 133 countries, including bricks
00:16:49partners, Turkia, Uganda, Kirgisstan and others.
00:16:53Now footage here shows the moment when a friendly conversation
00:16:56between one the foreigners and an elderly Russian woman
00:17:00occurred a polling station in the city of
00:17:03Yakataramburg. Now the man in the video is
00:17:06muktazaza. Zaidi, the prominent Iraqi
00:17:09journalist who achieved worldwide fame when he threw
00:17:13his shoe at George W. Bush 18 years
00:17:17ago in protest against the war the US waged against
00:17:21his country. Now voting is even happening in
00:17:24places you wouldn't expect. Ross Atom, head
00:17:28Alexi Likachev was able to cast his
00:17:32ballot a nuclear power plant his country is building for Turkey
00:17:36as where Russian. workers who are involved in the
00:17:39project at the state corporation's director general also
00:17:43shared his thoughts about the timing of Kief's increased attacks on Russia
00:17:47and what they are supposed to
00:17:49achieve.
00:17:53I want emphasize once again that starting from the spring of this year, particularly from
00:17:57late April and May, the frequency, intensity and targeted nature the
00:18:01attacks have increased maliciously. Clearly, this was also
00:18:05aimed at disrupting the elections, therefore the... past week was characterized by
00:18:09even higher number of shellings. this includes traditional drones,
00:18:12artillery strikes and mortar fire, which joined the attacks on Enigodar this
00:18:16week. unfortunately, there has been one casualty. this week's victim is the tenth
00:18:20person to die in enigodar in recent months. psychological
00:18:23pressure has continued as well. at night, drones operated over the city,
00:18:27intimidating and harassing people while committing crimes. they tried everything to
00:18:31prevent people from coming to the elections, however the opposite effect has
00:18:34occurred. people have shown remarkable courage of... professionalism in
00:18:38maintaining the safety the station, the residents of enigoda did
00:18:42everything on their part to organize the elections and facilitate the voting
00:18:45process. And these are images from several
00:18:49countries in southeast Asia where Russian citizens have
00:18:53been gathering to vote. Several hundred people are expected to
00:18:57attend each the polling stations set up in Thailand,
00:19:00Indonesia, the Philippines and Laos. Now voters
00:19:04explained why they wanted to exercise. democratic
00:19:08right, despite being thousands of kilometers away from
00:19:11home, for me this day is very important for our
00:19:15country and we from my point of view
00:19:19every russian citizen should vote for
00:19:23their future. i think it's really important to take part in this
00:19:27election cuz like uh we need
00:19:31to express our opinion and
00:19:35yeah this is really important for me. as a first time
00:19:39like voting here, it is really important for Russian people
00:19:42abroad to take part in these
00:19:45elections, as it is
00:19:47very about to express
00:19:51fair will, a political will so that
00:19:55community in Russia, Russia people and international

00:22:51working so that i can survive at all on my small pension. my
00:22:55husband receives 700, if we did not have that, we
00:22:59would have to move out of here, we would have to leave, and that is what
00:23:03i want to change, and hope it
00:23:05works. and as for mr. a
00:23:0817 cent fuel rebate, which has just been put on the table, honestly you can wipe
00:23:12your with it,
00:23:13it is.
00:23:25Let's cross now live to Italian journalist David Cabonaro.
00:23:28David, I'm glad to have you join me right now. So early in
00:23:32September we saw remarkable victory for the AFD
00:23:36party in Saxony Anhalt. Could we potentially
00:23:39see another such victory in this coming regional elections? What are
00:23:43you see? Thanks for having me.
00:23:47The polls say that in these
00:23:51two elections that are going today,
00:23:55AFD could potentially win in
00:23:57Mecklenburg Forman, but
00:24:01in Berlin the situation is
00:24:04unclear, on the other side, I
00:24:07believe that the Pols could
00:24:10be really wrong this time, because it's very
00:24:14difficult to app region like Macklenburg
00:24:17Forman where uh... "the election rate
00:24:21and the people going to vote is not as high
00:24:25a quote as it was in Zaxon Anhal, so it is
00:24:29difficult to see, but the reality is that
00:24:33IFD is in the eastern part of
00:24:36Germany uh, having the most of it,
00:24:40having around 40 to 42% average
00:24:44in all uh regions, which could
00:24:47bring them to win, even..." if they will not have a
00:24:51chance to build regional government, because all the
00:24:55others uh will probably join in
00:24:59what they call the brandmower, which means a coalition
00:25:02against AFD. we will have to see the results,
00:25:06but change is coming in Germany, as you
00:25:10said in the as you heard in the interviews we
00:25:13heard just before uh we started to talk, people
00:25:17are really angry and fed up, mm. As you have
00:25:21mentioned, opposition parties in Germany are said to have
00:25:24established a firewall against the AFD, meaning
00:25:28that no coalition will be will be formed with a
00:25:31party.
00:25:32now as result, the AFD could not form an
00:25:36absolute majority after their victory, so the question is, why do
00:25:40you think there is such a unified stance by political parties
00:25:44against the AFD despite their remarkable success in the poll so
00:25:47far? well, parties are doing
00:25:51is extremely anti-democratic because people
00:25:55show who they want to be their leaders
00:25:59in elections and if a party like in
00:26:04for example gets 44%, it's not not only
00:26:07anti-democratic, but it's in fact offensive
00:26:11against all voters of IFD, to say
00:26:15no, you voters of IFD are dumb, we know
00:26:19better, we liberals, we establishment, we
00:26:22brussell parties, no better, you should shut up
00:26:26and we will take the power, even if the election
00:26:30winner is someone else, this is very... and this has brought
00:26:33exactly what happened to weeks ago, and this will
00:26:37happen more or less in all Germany, because people
00:26:41will vote against this firewall, people will
00:26:45vote because they want change, they want new energy
00:26:49policy, they want peace, they don't want
00:26:52Berlin giving away hundreds of millions of
00:26:56euro to Ukraine, they would
00:26:58like to have a German cancellor and not a Ukrainian chancellor
00:27:02in. they would like to have safe cities and
00:27:05not closing down companies and industries
00:27:09every month like it's happening now people are really really angry
00:27:13i
00:27:13have never seen germans such
00:27:15decisive decisive in
00:27:19their protest this but this is not only vote for
00:27:22protest for change
00:27:23this is
00:27:25for vote change for peace and especially for
00:27:28reestablishing cooperation withus.
00:27:33in order to take down cost of living, all costs of
00:27:36living for energy, fuels and
00:27:39others for everyday germans that are really
00:27:43struggling. now talking about the cost of living, let's
00:27:47come there, because one common complaint we have heard
00:27:50from voters is the cost of living, something that is
00:27:54directly influenced by the cost of energy. now
00:27:58AFD's answer to this is a revamping of gas delivery
00:28:02from Russia and the building of nuclear power plants, now what
00:28:06sort of impact could the reintroduction of gas supplies to
00:28:09Germany have on Germany's economy? What do you
00:28:13think? Well, if it would be possible to
00:28:16reestablish the connections, the economic connections
00:28:20with Russia and also with with Belarus and
00:28:24bringing the raw materials and supplies
00:28:28of gas and all sources of
00:28:31energy. to Germany, this of course could bring down the
00:28:35cost of production in uh
00:28:39industries, this could bring down the fuel prices,
00:28:43which will uh bring down the cost of logistics to bring things
00:28:47from the factories to the shops where people are
00:28:50buying uh things, and this of course will have
00:28:54final effect on the final
00:28:57uh retail price for the customer, this is one
00:29:01thing, the second one, of course now the heating season
00:29:04is uh arriving uh warehouses for gas in
00:29:08Germany are a low which
00:29:12is unimaginable, so
00:29:15if this economic restart with Russia will
00:29:19not come as soon as possible, the Germans will have the most expensive
00:29:23winter which they ever had until if we think about
00:29:27the 50s or the 60s, so the
00:29:31effect of restart. in cooperation with Russia would bring
00:29:34only benefits to uh to Germany, but
00:29:38we have to remember that without
00:29:41stopping the blood bath of money being
00:29:45thrown away from Germany given to Kiev,
00:29:49which is goes in the tens in the hundreds of
00:29:52billions, well this reconnection with Russia will
00:29:56not work, so it has to be both, it has to be
00:30:00reconnection with Russia and... German politics for the German
00:30:04people and not for Kiev banderists. All
00:30:08right, we have to leave you here now, Italian journalist David
00:30:11Cabanaro. Thank you so much for your time. Thank you. All
00:30:15right, now RT.com is where you can get for the details of all the
