Russian Elections

The World’s Reactions to the Russian Elections and Putin’s Victory!

The 71-year-old Vladimir Putin declared himself the victor of Russia’s “presidential elections” in statements that were expected. Thus, he will hold the office of President of Russia for a record five times. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Putin has been in the Kremlin since 1999 and is projected to stay there at least until 2030.

IRAN

Ebrahim Raisi, the President of Iran, was among those who quickly congratulated Vladimir Putin on his victory in the presidential elections in Russia.

CHINA

China, as another ally of Russia, also issued a congratulatory message on the occasion of Putin’s re-election. According to the French news agency, Lin Jian, the spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, announced that Xi Jinping, the President of China, and Putin “will continue to maintain close communication to guide the two countries in deepening strategic coordination comprehensively.”

The Beijing congratulatory message also noted that “China and Russia are each other’s largest neighbors and strategic partners in the new era.”

VENEZUELA

Nicolás Maduro, the President of Venezuela, also said: “Our big brother has won, and this is promising for good things to come for the world.”

BOSNIA

Milorad Dodik, the leader of the Bosnian Serbs, also emphasized in a message that “the Serbs joyfully welcomed the victory of President Putin because they see in him a great statesman and friend whom they can always count on.”

Dmitry Medvedev

Even before the final results were announced, Dmitry Medvedev, the former leader of Russia, congratulated and wrote: “I congratulate Vladimir Putin’s extraordinary victory in the elections.”

EUROPEAN UNION

Josep Borrell, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, stated that the Russian elections were not free and fair, but rather based on suppression and intimidation.

UKRAINE

Volodymyr Zelensky, the President of Ukraine, deemed the Russian elections illegal and emphasized: “Everyone in the world knows that this individual, like many others throughout history, is afflicted with the disease of power-seeking and will do anything to stay in power.”

FRANCE

France was another country that reacted to this issue and, while praising “many” of the Russian citizens who showed their opposition to Putin, declared that the presidential elections in Russia were held under suppression.

GERMANY

Annalena Baerbock, the Foreign Minister of Germany, called Putin’s reelection after the suppression of opponents a result of a “non-choice election.” She stated in a meeting in Brussels that the Russian elections demonstrate Putin’s “atrocious behavior towards his own people.”

UNITED KINGDOM

David Cameron, the Foreign Secretary of Britain, stated in response to this issue that the Russian elections were “unlawful” because they showed “a lack of choice for voters and oversight from monitoring institutions.”

ITALY

Antonio Tajani, the Foreign Minister of Italy, was another diplomat who declared: “The Russian elections were neither free nor fair.”

CZECH REPUBLIC

Jan Lipavský, the Foreign Minister of the Czech Republic, described these elections as “ridiculous” and added: “The presidential elections in Russia showed how this regime suppresses civil society, independent media, and dissenters.”

During Putin’s presidency, the Russian Constitution was amended, and Kremlin’s control over the judiciary increased. However, in a press conference after the elections, Putin criticized Western and American democracy, emphasizing the importance of fulfilling the common demands of the Russian Federation people.
