Vladimir Putin won a landslide reelection victory, taking some 87% of all ballots following three days of voting derided by Russia's opposition and the West as neither free nor fair.

Preliminary results of the presidential election are displayed on a screen at the campaign headquarters of Russian President and presidential candidate Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Sunday.Going into the vote, the Kremlin was believed to seek not merely victory but a historic turnout: one that showed the country more united than ever behind their leader, more than two years into the full scale invasion of Ukraine.
"We have many tasks ahead. But when we are consolidated — no matter who wants to intimidate or suppress us — nobody has ever succeeded. Not in history, not now, nor will they ever succeed in the future," said Putin. Meanwhile, antiwar candidates were banned from the ballot over registration errors — undoing the will of thousands of Russians who backed their candidacies with cumbersome signature gathering campaigns.
In several cities, voters dumped dark liquid dye into ballot boxes. In others, they set fire to voting booths.
