Vladimir Putin Secures 5th Term , as Russia’s President.

On March 18, Russia's Central Election Commission confirmed that Putin won reelection by a landslide.

He reportedly received over 87% of the vote.

Countries that congratulated him include Cuba, Honduras, Nicaragua, North Korea, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Venezuela.

However, critics say that Putin didn't have any credible opposition, and free speech against him was stifled.

For example, Alexei Navalny, a fierce opponent of Putin's, died last month in an Arctic prison, and his other critics have either been jailed or exiled, 'USA Today' reports.

The United States referred to the vote as "neither free nor fair," while Germany called it a "pseudo-election.".

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Putin is "sick with power and is doing everything in his power to rule forever.".

Putin is currently Russia's "longest-serving leader since Joseph Stalin," 'USA Today' reports.
