00:00 President Vladimir Putin won a record post-Soviet landslide victory in Russia's election on Sunday.
00:07 The chair of the Central Election Commission in Moscow said Putin won a record 88% of the vote.
00:13 Thank you very much.
00:17 First of all, I would like to thank the citizens of Russia.
00:22 We are all one team. All the citizens of Russia who came to the polling stations and voted.
00:31 With a new six-year term cementing his grip on power,
00:36 the former KGB officer is set to become overtake Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin
00:42 as Russia's longest-serving leader in more than 200 years.
00:47 Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Putin wanted to rule forever
00:53 and that Russia's presidential election was an illegitimate imitation.
00:59 There can be no legitimacy in this imitation of elections.
01:05 This action must end in the lava of the gas submarines.
01:09 This is what we must ensure. Everyone in the world who values life and order.
01:15 The war hung over the three-day vote, with Ukraine attacking oil refineries,
01:20 shelling Russian regions and seeking to pierce its borders with proxy forces.
01:25 Putin said those attacks would not go unpunished.
