Putin praises election organization, asserts legitimacy of Russian bodies

Putin publicly lauded the conduct of recent Russian elections, emphasizing their legal and organizational quality, and used the meeting with CEC head Pamfilova to reinforce the legitimacy of all executive and representative bodies. This is a routine political endorsement, consistent with Kremlin messaging, with no new substantive change. The statement is notable mainly for its timing and domestic signaling, not for any market or geopolitical impact.
