IN DEPTH | Putin wins Russian election to begin fifth term as president

With an overwhelming 87% of the vote, Vladimir Putin took his biggest election victory since he came to power in 2000 and will remain in power.

The CEC, which did not invite EU observers, denied that there were serious irregularities, although independent experts and the exile press reported several cases of electoral manipulation.

In addition, Ukraine and Western chancelleries denounced the absence of opposition candidates and illegal voting in the four Ukrainian regions annexed by the Russian army.
