Moscow, Russia:
Russian leader Vladimir Putin was slated to win presidential elections with 87 percent of the vote, state-run exit polls showed Sunday, following a ballot that included no real opposition candidates.
The government-run VTsIOM pollster showed the 71-year-old Russian leader had won the election — also being held in occupied regions of Ukraine — after polls closed in Russia’s western-most region of Kaliningrad at 1700 GMT.
