Russian President Vladimir Putin won more than 87% of the vote in the elections. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in his video address, called it an "imitation."
"The other day, the Russian dictator is imitating the next elections. It is clear to everyone in the world that this figure, as has happened so often in history, is simply addicted to power and is doing everything to rule forever. There is no evil he will not commit to prolong his personal power. And there is no one in the world who is immune from this," the President emphasized.
He thanked all states and leaders, as well as all international organizations that "call and will continue to call a spade a spade".
"Everything Russia does in the occupied territory of Ukraine is a crime. There must be a just retribution for everything done by Russian murderers in this war and for the sake of Putin's lifelong power. He is most afraid of only one thing - justice," Zelensky said.
The Head of State noted that "today's elections in Russia have no legitimacy and cannot have any legitimacy."
"This figure must end up in the dock in The Hague - this is what we must ensure. To everyone in the world who values life and decency," the President summarized.
