Western leaders have criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin's reelection, calling the vote 'illegal' and 'undemocratic', while a number of countries, including China, India, and North Korea, have congratulated him on his victory. The election, which saw Putin secure a sixth term, has been denounced by the West as 'not free nor fair', a sentiment echoed by various Western governments who have lined up to condemn the election results. Despite this, Putin received congratulatory messages from leaders such as Chinese President Xi Jinping and Venezuelan leader Nicholas Maduro, among others from countries like Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bolivia, Honduras, Iran, Myanmar, Nicaragua, Tajikistan, Transnistria, and Uzbekistan, extending his rule by a further six years.
