Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova dismissed claims that Moscow's election process was rigged in Putin's favor.
The Russian Foreign Ministry shot back at claims that Moscow's presidential election was tipped in Vladimir Putin's favor, instead saying that Western leaders cannot fathom Russia's 'nationwide unity.'Putin on Monday officially secured enough votes to win a fifth presidential term but the outcome of Russia's three-day election was anticipated even before the Kremlin strongman announced his reelection bid in the fall.
Zakharova also took a shot at British Defense Secretary Grant Shapps, who said on Monday that Putin was behaving like 'a modern-day' Joseph Stalin and that the Kremlin leader 'stole the election again, but he won't steal Ukraine.''We didn't steal anything from them,' Zakharova wrote on Telegram.'By the way, what's going on with Kate Middleton?' the Kremlin spokeswoman quipped.
