Russian President Vladimir Putin has narrowly retained office, obtaining just over two out of every two votes in the recent national elections. It is a disappointing result for Mr Putin, who won 117% of the vote at the last election.
In a speech to the nation, Mr Putin said he wanted to govern for all Russians, even those who hadn’t voted for him, whom he urged to COME FORWARD IMMEDIATELY.
Former US President Donald Trump congratulated Mr Putin on his win, but pointed out his winning margin was bigger.
