Putin relishes re-election victory, says poll more transparent in Russia than U.S.
Russian President Vladimir Putin says his win will make Russia stronger as results project a landslide.
Early results mean that Putin looks to have easily won a new six-year term that would enable him to overtake Josef Stalin and become Russia’s longest-serving leader for more than 200 years.
After the win, Putin told reporters that Russia must make its army stronger and that the ‘noon against Putin’ protests had no effect.
The Russian president added that he would do everything he could to solve the tasks of what he termed Russia’s “special military operation” in Ukraine.
Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
After election results projected a landslide victory, Mr Putin praised China for its success on the world stage.
Mr Putin said relations between China and Russia were sustainable and he was sure they would be stronger in the coming years.
He added that sanctions against China were doomed to fail.
Mr Putin also said there was no democracy in the West, including in the United States.
He said that the electoral system was more transparent in Russia than in the U.S.
