Kremlin plans to place 100 veterans of Russia 's war in Ukraine into the State Duma in 2026 , exiled journalist reports.

The move would see veterans make up more than one-fifth of Russia ’s 450 -member lower house of parliament and one-third of the ruling United Russia party.

Electing veterans is the “easiest” way to integrate them into government, a Kremlin source says.

Authorities have increasingly sought to place Ukraine war veterans into political office.
