Ajouter "Putin claims fifth term as Russian leader"

'5선 확실' 푸틴 "러, 더 강해져야 국민과 전사들에게 감사" Russian President Vladimir Putin is on the verge of winning his fifth term as the country's leader, with overwhelming support. However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy slammed Putin for being "power hungry",.. and said he should be tried at The Hague for war crimes. Lee Seung-jae has more. To no one's surprise, Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to win his fifth term as the country's leader. According to a number of Russian opinion poll organizations, exit polls showed that an overwhelming number of voters had picked Putin. Russia's Central Election Commission also revealed that with 60 percent of the votes counted, Putin had an overwhelming lead, with over 87 percent voting for the incumbent leader. On the verge of winning yet another presidential election, Putin on Sunday called on Russia to become stronger and more effective,.. thanking the Russian people for voting. He also mentioned the soldiers fighting in what he referred to as "special operations" against Ukraine,.. while emphasizing that “the source of Russian power is the Russian people." A win for Putin will mean he will be in office until at least 2030, when he'll be turning 77, making him Russia's longest-serving leader since Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin. Putin has had little to no challenge during his rule, with most opposition candidates either dead, jailed, or barred from running for office. Russian presidential elections were held every four years, until the law was changed in 2008 to extend the term to six years, while more constitutional changes in 2020 removed presidential term limits. However,.. one person ensured that Putin didn't get her vote, as Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of Alexei Navalny said Sunday, that she wrote her late husband's name on the ballot. Navalny's supporters also held demonstrations at polling stations throughout Russia, while voting for other candidates or invalidating votes. In a video message on Sunday,.. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy criticized Putin, calling him "sick with power",.. adding that the Russian leader is willing to do anything to stay in power. Zelenskyy also stressed that everything Putin has done in occupying Ukraine is a crime, emphasizing that he should be tried at The Hague for war crimes. The Ukrainian leader also said that there's "no legitimacy" in the Russian elections.
