Russia election: Putin declared winner of race that was never in doubt

Associated Press  

President Vladimir Putin extended his reign over Russia in a landslide election whose outcome was never in doubt, declaring his determination Monday to advance deeper into Ukraine and dangling new threats against the West. U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan said there was “nothing free or fair” about the election but seemingly resisted calls from Russia’s opposition to not recognize Putin as the winner. Asked if an open clash could erupt between Russia and NATO, Putin responded curtly by saying: “Everything is possible in today’s world.” He added, “It’s clear to everyone that it will put us a step away from full-scale World War III.” Russian officials said they recruited over 500,000 volunteers for the army last year, but many expect Putin to mobilize more forces to attempt to push deeper into Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy slammed the election and voting in the illegally annexed regions saying “everything Russia does on the occupied territory of Ukraine is a crime.” Germany also sharply criticized the vote.
