Video surfaced from a number of different polling places in Russia of people stuffing multiple ballots into boxes.
Alexander Vershbow is a former U.S. Ambassador to Russia, and a fellow at the Atlantic Council. He agreed that there was no real competition for the election.
“Candidates obviously played their roles in this political theater, so that it all looks like a competition, but it's more of a farce than real elections. It's a masquerade, of course.”
Vershbow added: “I will be really disappointed if President Trump congratulates Putin with his win in this so-called election.”
普京再次当选俄罗斯总统后不久,白宫表示,普京当选在意料之中,川普总统不打算祝贺普京连任。
白宫发言人霍干·吉德利说,美国将在可以合作的领域同俄罗斯合作。他说:“我们会培养和俄罗斯的关系。我们将在俄罗斯危害我们利益的时候让他们付出代价,但是,我们将在符合我国利益的情况下寻找合作的领域。”
俄罗斯星期一正式公布的选举结果显示,普京以77%的票数第四次当选总统。包括欧洲安全与合作组织的彼得森大使在内的在莫斯科的国际观察人士说,这次选举“缺乏真正的竞争” 。
观察人士还说,这次竞选问题很多,其中包括“限制集会、结社和言论等基本自由,并且限制候选人登记,这些都限制了政治参与的空间”。
