Russia election: UK rejects President Putin’s re-election

The United Kingdom has slammed Russia over the re-election
of President Vladimir Putin.

Britain’s Foreign Minister, David Cameron, said the election
that brought Putin back to office was not conducted in a manner that was
considered free and fair.

He said this in a statement on Sunday.

He suggested that the Russian President had won re-election
with ease.

“The polls have closed in Russia, following the illegal
holding of elections on Ukrainian territory, a lack of choice for voters and no
independent OSCE monitoring.
