Russian presidential election: President Putin wins by a landslide with nearly 90% of the vote. The 18th marks the 10th anniversary of Russia's unilateral annexation of Crimea in southern Ukraine.
As Ukraine aims to take back Crimea, President Putin is expected to flaunt Russia's dominance and reiterate his stance of proceeding with the invasion of Ukraine. In conjunction with this, a large-scale rally is being planned in the capital Moscow, gathering supporters of the regime on Red Square in the center. Russian media are reporting that President Putin may attend.
