At the same time, in many cities where a large number of Russian citizens voted – Berlin, Almaty, Belgrade, Dubai – the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation has not yet published the results.

The Russian Central Election Commission, after processing 99.75% of the ballots, stated that Putin had 87.29% of the vote. Davankov has 3.84%.

Background: Iran, China, North Korea, Uzbekistan and Venezuela congratulated Russian President Vladimir Putin on his "victory" in the Russian sham presidential election, although the CEC had not yet officially finished counting the votes. Most countries of the civilised world stated that they considered the elections in Russia to be neither fair nor free.
