Description
In Moscow, people show support for long-serving mayor Sergei Sobyanin ahead of local elections. Sobyanin has presided over Europe's largest city for almost 13 years and is part of an elite class of technocrats quietly keeping the country afloat through the turmoil of the conflict in Ukraine. Student Rukhin Aliyev is convinced that "Sobyanin will win these elections again." Like others interviewed be the AFP, Aliyev especially appreciates Sobyanin's drive to develop the city. Russia is set to hold local elections marked by its dragging Ukraine offensive, with no real opposition candidates and a vote in occupied Ukraine denounced as "illegal" by Kyiv and the West.
