Sham elections in Russia: EU Council President congratulates Putin on "landslide victory" in sham election

Quick Glance: European Council Mocks Putin's 'Landslide Victory' at Start of Russian Presidential Elections
- During the initial phase of the Russian pseudo-democratic presidential elections, expected to result in Putin's extension of power for another six years, the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, indulged in a sarcastic congratulatory gesture towards Vladimir Putin.
- Michel expressed his ironic 'appreciation' for Putin's 'overwhelming victory' even before the election results are announced over the next three days.
- Competing against Putin are three other candidates, none of whom have a realistic chance of winning.
- In 2020, Russia conducted a manipulated vote to approve constitutional changes allowing Putin to run for two additional terms after his current term expires in 2024.
