In short, this is the moment of truth to see whether the EU can assert itself as an industrially sovereign power centre (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.europarl.europa.eu\/plenary\/fr\/agendas.html\"><u>agenda here<\/u><\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>18\u201320 September: Russian State Duma elections<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These elections serve as a crucial strategic barometer for assessing the internal resilience of Vladimir Putin\u2019s regime faced with the strain of the war. Although the outcome of the vote leaves no doubt that the ruling party will get\u00a0its absolute majority, this first national election since 2022 is crucial to monitor for two reasons. Geopolitically, the vote in the occupied Ukrainian territories (Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, parts of Kharkiv and Crimea) serves as a tool for constitutional consolidation to force the integration of these regions, whilst the large-scale inclusion of war veterans on the electoral rolls aims to permanently militarise Russia\u2019s new political elite. Economically, this election coincides with an unprecedented vulnerability on the home front. The exorbitant cost of the war economy is beginning to weigh on citizens\u2019 standard of living, exacerbated by rumours of mobilisation and major industrial disruptions caused by Ukrainian drone strikes on refineries (Russia is importing refined products, notably petrol, for the first time in history and in record quantities, due to shortages on its domestic market).<\/p>\n<p><strong>20 September: Regional elections in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (Germany)\u00a0\t\t<div class=\"oct_article_subscribe \">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"oct_article_content_suscribe\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"oct_article_content_suscribe__button \">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"oct_btn oct_btn_orange_inverse\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/geab.eu\/abonnement\/\">To read the full article, register now<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"oct_article_content_suscribe__button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"oct_btn oct_btn_orange\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"oct_suscribe_compte_login_modal_popup\">Already a subscriber?
