Moscow Demands Western Guarantees for Diplomatic Security Ahead of State Duma Elections
22:54 02.09.2026 (Updated: 23:36 02.09.2026) Russia has demanded that Western countries ensure the security of Russian diplomatic missions abroad during the upcoming elections to the State Duma, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Sputnik.
"We have certainly sent the relevant materials, that is, diplomatic notes expressing not just concern, but demands that appropriate security be ensured," Zakharova said in an interview on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum.
"Our notes to ban demonstrations, in particular on election day, to ensure the security of Russian missions abroad, were, at best, taken into account," Zakharova said.
States with unfriendly regimes, when faced with such requests, cite principles of freedom of speech and assembly, she said.
"What this has to do with our electoral processes in our country and their internal political dynamics is unclear," she added.
The Eastern Economic Forum is taking place from September 1-4 in Russia's Vladivostok.
Russia's legislative elections will take place September 18-20. All 450 seats of the lower house of the Federal Assembly are up for grabs.
