On Sunday, March 17, Russia held a pseudo-presidential election. According to exit polls, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin received over 87% of the vote. In turn, Putin made a statement that he would continue the war with Ukraine.
This was reported by the Russian media.
In particular, in the temporarily occupied territories, the Russians "drew" support for the Russian dictator from more than 88% of "voters".
Putin's "colleagues" already congratulated him on the victory - the Head of North Korea Kim Jong Un, the President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon, the President of Nicaragua Daniel Ortega and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Cuba Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla.
During a speech at his campaign headquarters, the Russian dictator said he plans to continue the war with Ukraine. According to him, the "high turnout in the elections" is due to the "dramatic events" that the country is "experiencing."
"We are forced to literally defend the interests of our citizens with arms in hand," Putin said.
He also said that Russia "is for peace talks, but only if it is not because the enemy is running out of ammunition."
The Russian dictator also said that Russia could create a "sanitary zone" on the territory of Ukraine: its depth will allegedly be such that it would be difficult to overcome "means of defeat, primarily of foreign production."
