Also, Putin and his people had waged an unrelenting crackdown on those who publicly opposed the Kremlin or its military offensive on Ukraine.
The government-run VTsIOM pollster projected that Putin had sailed to an easy victory with 87 per cent of the vote after polls closed in Russia’s western-most region of Kaliningrad on the Baltic Sea.
Speaking on the victory, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky lashed out at Putin as a “dictator” who was “drunk from power”.
“There is no evil he will not commit to prolong his personal power,” Zelensky said in a message on social media.
