Putin’s landslide election victory dismissed by West • FRANCE 24 English

Let’s bring in Philip tur our International Affairs editor so in the last hour or so some diplomatic reaction coming through nothing so far Philip from Paris no nothing from Paris so far as we know you’ll give us posted on that as soon as we get any uh reaction coming

From either the presidential office or from the the foreign office here in Paris uh just to go back to that score 87 nearly 88% uh after about 24 and a half% of the votes have been counted which means that that score will probably go up even higher uh before we

Uh get to the end of the counting there have been some reactions coming through in the last hour or so the first one from vomir zalinski the president of Ukraine who says Putin is a power hungry dictator it’s clear that uh what has happened and as has happened so often in

History that he is uh now sick from power and doing everything he can to rule forever there is no evil Putin will not commit to to prolong his personal power there’s also been a reaction from uh the team of Alexi noal uh who uh which has issued a statement saying uh

The result is disconnected from reality it’s not even worth talking about it uh other results coming through in the in the last few minutes from Poland saying the vote was not legal uh it was not free and it was not fair uh voting took place a made harsh repression and

Occupied parts of Ukraine uh the White House National Security advisor spokesperson has also issued a statement saying these elections are neither free nor fair as Putin jailed opponents and prevented others from running the German foreign minister has described the elections a pseudo election saying Putin’s regime is authoritarian and

Based on censorship repression and violence the British foreign office has said by organizing illegal elections in Ukrainian territory Russia has shown it is not interested in peace The only positive reaction so far has been from Dimitri mvdv the former Russian president and right-hand man of uh Vladimir Putin saying this was a great

Victory uh television stations in Russia are saying that uh the victory of uh uh nearly 88% shows a colossal support of Russian people uh towards Vladimir Putin but still no results no reaction so far from France yeah we heard the biggest

  1. Congratulations Mr. Putin from Louisiana, now let's free the oppressed ethnic Russians Ukrainians in the eastern region and keep promoting traditional values thruout the world where the majority of the world supports Russia and the Palestinians.

  2. But US is trying to jail trump and some states are banning him from the ballot . So this is rich for them say Russia is jailing its political opponents 😅

  11. All the people he named, and what they
    think about the elections, are the same
    people who told us that the Russian
    economy would shrink to nothing 😂

  14. So laughable. What gives one the right to reject the results of another country when it does not serve your interests ? Can the world reject the election results of the US, UK and the west ? Double standards and hypocrisy again. That is why the world is moving towards multi polar.

  20. I have gone for a treble Donald Trump to tell lies,Joe Biden to forget to put his pants on one day and Putin to win an election with all the opposition dead or inprisioned !

  22. I don't get it. The West did all they could to unite Russian people around Vladimir Putin and now I see criticism about results of the elections? Isnt it funny?

  25. this is just Putin's response to Joe Biden somehow winning the last election… even Putin doesn't believe the US election system isn't rigged…

  26. We outside the the collective west were the rest of the 7.5 billion earth inhabitants live do not really care what you accept or not

  27. If Putin stated that the sun rises in the east, western media would be spending six months claiming that it does, in fact, rise in the west.

  31. why would the West even care if they like whatever is called elections in Russia?
    or why would anyone seek an outside opinion on domestic matters?
