Warning of World War III Putin's words after declaring victory in Russia's elections

Vladimir Putin warned of the Third World War, as he appears to have secured another mandate as Russia's leader.

So writes The Sun, under which the spirit medium, the 71 - year - old dictator, will now be in power at least until 2030 after organising false elections to give himself his greatest victory ever, Telegrafi conveys.

The early official results of the vote revealed that Putin received 87.97 per cent of the vote after he killed or deported his rivals.

And Putin held a “winning statement” just hours after the closure of the polling stations, while thanking the Russians for “trust” and “their support”, saying the result would allow Russian society of “consolidated” and “to become stronger “.

Despot warned that the world could lead to the brink of World War III if Western troops enter Ukraine, where Russia's conquest continues to stalled for more than two years.

He also pledged to “putte” his enemies while a crowd of supporters cheered him up.

Putin said: “We are all one team. No one can crush us, they will never succeed”.

But as a united family, we can defeat them”.

“and all our goals will be achieved, we will do everything to achieve this”.

After more than two decades of brutal rule by iron, anyone who could have challenged it is either in prison, in exile or dead amid the most severe blow of opposition in Russia since Soviet times.

Therefore, the ballots lacked any names, real competition, and Putin's road to victory was never in doubt.

Only three symbolic candidates were allowed to stand against the dictator and no one who opposed his brutal fight.

A White House spokesman said: “Elections are not free or fair given how Mr. Putin has imprisoned political opponents and prevented others from competing against him”.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called Putin “ill for power” while his troops continue to fight against Russian forces.

The wartime leader added: “is clear to all in the world that this figure, as it has often happened in history, is simply sick for power and is doing everything to rule permanently”.

This person must be on trial at The Hague. That's what we need to provide”.

Meanwhile, the United Kingdom Foreign Ministry said: “holds illegal elections on Ukrainian territory, Russia demonstrates it is not interested in finding a path to peace”.

The United Kingdom will continue to provide humanitarian, economic and military assistance to Ukrainians who defend their democracy”.

Otherwise, Putin's victory was announced just hours after the closure of polling stations, with official results being released within days after all documents are counted.

More than 114 million people have the right to vote, and reports say turnout was 73 percent.

Russia's constitution says presidents can serve no more than two successive six-year mandates.

But in 2020, power - hungry Putin orchestrated an amendment barring himself from the limits of the presidential mandate by 2036 until he is 83. /Telegraph
