No one intimidated them. And it is impossible to intimidate out people its an election where the winner takes all in the library, putting has left his opponents far behind the 3 other candidates, all getting less than 5 percent of the about having his party stimuli, hart and off is in 2nd place, but the new people party is not a soft advocate running for the 1st time. Its really insert one can imagine the reaction from all around the world has been coming in just by the minute here in moscow. Basically, every country in the global south, the brakes, the as the and the shanghai cooperation organization, the role setting that best wishes to Vladimir Putin on a call from professional pop is in the west to a just contending the whole, the election as a legitimate well, well tell you more about that as we continue our special coverage here from us studio to the heart of most of the as well as thank you so much for joining us here for our special coverage on the, on the international role. Re sushi, my colleague rachel ruble. Its been an amazing few days, a witnessing tens of millions of russians, at least what 77000000 people go into the polls. The cost of votes securing pretend. 87 percent of the. Yeah. Well over 70 percent, turn out in russia really remarkable. 3 days the voting is complete, the counting almost to complete. As weve been saying, vladimir put in the clear winner with 87 percent of the vote, meaning he will be leading the country for the next 6 years. Yeah. Well thats not more and thats of course live now to be a rush of the Central Election Commission. Here with all these are strong to do, but skews dining by for us right now. Whos really being rocking this uh, this report for most of the open items Early Morning hours. Charlotte. Amazing. What for me today . I mean its, its being very, very busy for all involved, not just people voting. Not just the correspondence in the press, but also for the International Observers. Its been an exciting 3 days. Charlotte, what can you tell us . Well, thats why, as you and rachel just saying that we are very close to getting a 100 percent tally on this. But anything thats been taking place over the last 3 days, over 11 time zones, and on so at russian embassies across the world. Im understanding now that there is a, just over 20600 votes still to count. But lets be honest, thats not going to make a difference because we know the results of the selection, such a huge win for the incumbent president Vladimir Putin, who now serves a 5th to him as president of the russian federation. Gaining some 87 percent of the vote to mean that is just incredible. But to put that into some perspective, there was 3 of the candidates in this race between them. They didnt say almost a 10000000 votes. So a round about a 10 of those who voted people voting not just in person, but also like strongly agree that works according to the chapters nova, the Electoral Commission attacks on that system. But it did with the very well that weve as a sum of 5000000 people voting in terms of the closest challenges that was the communist party with the 3700000 votes taking around 4. 3 percent over one of the vote itself. Were waiting for the final tally coming from the electro commission here. The h q thats going to be talking about us is a, is not going to change the picture of what we know. The russia will seems like my preaching serve as president for a phase 10 in an election that had many, many verse including the 1st time the people from the for nearly incorporated regions are able to vote in the president ial election. And the 1st time of the president ial election is being held over 3 days. Its been an exciting couple of days weve. Youll put unity for those International Observers to see what goes on, hey, and hey, from the h p. Whats being really interesting is the fact that theyve had Video Surveillance cameras in around 15000. 00 of the electro stations thats over the hall system. Im not as allowed just to watch uh, in real time, whats been happening in those stations and allowing people to just see that its people getting up and choosing who they want to vote for. And its pretty clear. Well, are you rachel, who that is . Its miss steps, a lot of my preaching for another 6 years until 2030 here in russia, the live, or the Central Electric commission. Here in the heart of most commodities or charlotte, 3 months. Thank you. Charlotte. Thank you. Was building was wrapping up on sunday evening. Vladimir put an address to russians from his Election Campaign headquarters. Here are some of the key details teammate a database to just get that despite the terrorist attacks. And you and i already know this, well, the citizens living in these territories have shown not just civic majority. They show coverage and continued to show it. No one as i thought, assumed and said recently, no one intimidated them. And it is impossible to intimidate out people. There are turnouts, both in the new territories. And in the border areas, the turn out is even higher than in the rest of the country. Its simply a response from the people to the actions, trying to intimidate them. Those who do it, dont understand who theyre dealing with. But in part, maybe its a good thing that they dont understand. Because in this case, of course, they will be defeated. Now they are trying, again, trying to get somewhere there to enter. They were destroyed. Almost 100 percent of them were destroyed. They moved forward by 100 meters. 25 tanks were destroyed. The enemy has concentrated a group of around 5000. 00 in the border area. Not directly on the state borderline but somewhere in their immediate rear. But the overall loss is about 40 percent of these about 35 percent r, irrevocable, 25. 00 tanks, dozens of Armored Vehicles and so on. If they like it that way, then in principle, it suits us because they mindlessly attack. Its such a meat grinder for them, its even beneficial for us, let them try except to go it with a few days before mister nobility passed away, some colleagues told me not administration officials. Some people said there was an idea to exchange Mister Development for some people who are in prison in western countries. You can believe me or not. The person who spoke to me had barely finished his sentence, but i said, i agreed. But unfortunately, what happened happened only on one condition that we exchange him so that he doesnt come back, let him sit there, thats all. But it happens. Theres nothing one can do about it. Thats how life is. If you want to know my opinion on whether our elections are democratic or not, i think they are democratic. Conversely, in some countries, for example, in your country, can it be considered democratic to use an administrative resource . In order to attack one of the candidates for president of the United States, including using judicial authorities, we have no preference for any of the candidates for president of the United States of america. We will work with whoever the voters trust, but the use of administrative resources, the judicial system. Its just become ridiculous and a disgrace to the whole world for the United States and for your democratic so called in quotes system. I have every reason to believe that we do not see any democracy, at least during the electoral process, is in some western countries, including the United States today. Therefore accept the return book. Please click here, let me start simple. After all, these are not completely stupid people sitting in all the institutions that have been working against our country for decades. Do you know what their problem is . In my opinion, it lies in the fact that after the collapse of the soviet union, there were a very large number of specialists on the soviet union who could not do anything else, but fight the soviet union. And then with the rush of that arose in part of the territory. So they began to convince their Political Leadership and the public of their countries that they need to continue finishing, rush off, and in such a way that they themselves will not be left without a job. But still new generations of specialists are coming. They realistically assess the events taking place. I think they will be more sophisticated, but they will not change their goals with regard to russia. Or lets of course lock now to add up on phillip from the russian. No Central Election Commission. I believe that discussing the final tally of the vote, lets listen it. A journalist yesterday that we dont have a democratic election in the restaurant. This is a method weve been ensuring all these years that we dont have a free and Fair Elections that people have to be forced to bow to. But its pretty neat. See, would that be she . You really have to have this new primitive cover in this uh, thinking not to know but to our people. Oh, my multi ethnic nation to make such claims. We really use the to live in a free country and we have a Free Expression of well, and people in the country most especially today and then the switch you, people are highly educated that we have a high level of education in our country. So people would not given the pressure of whether it comes from the inside of, from the outside of our country. So people can remain silent, but they will never fail to react and respond to any kind of attempts to pressure them into something. So when a rush im due to skew should sense, it started, its feeling the impact from sanctions, 70 political, economic, and military pressure where im facing, as i said yesterday. And i will repeat this today if the will told you after you put 10000 thats, thats one of the ways to respond to this kind of pressure. We have that high ranking west on the official who said recently this year we want to, to show in your story a russian just is up with the, the, you, the west is united sir up against the rush or, i mean showing you close to the pas which is douglas was we did not want to prove anything to anyone, but we prove to ourselves that we are an independent nation. We are doing what we believe to be the right you cause for our country and that so in doing so, we showed the west as we can send united in the face of their pressure. So i believe that this is a very important facts or supervisor at the prospect and everyone is talking about this right now. I am just repeating some guns. And so what we heard, this is something weve tried though, sounds on for many years now to see mutual real estate. Its from this is the 1st opportunity for many and how people do a stand up for our country, asked by holdings is the prize. If you will, free open and direct selection by the way in menu western countries, there are no options for selecting the head of state direct blaine. She 3rd because she moving into position and there are officials who are counseling 0. Its a representative of the executive branch and which is, this is not our approach here in the russia, as ive already said, this is a political effect. The s 4 organizational and technical matters. Of course we had this 3 day vote which enabled people to better plan their time and to vote at the convenient moment for them. They used to be a situation when people watch the road, but were unable to and we have the mobile boat or solution. So people did not have to vote and you had their registered towing station where they can choose the polling stations of the like the city. And we also to that will make use of us whens to door to door explaining to our vote. There is their rights ends, the opportunities that they have. So they have are all these different types of voting good will result in the whole just some years ago. So the, any vote during the method where they were even in the most remote. So the couple of places, so for us, so those are whether they are in space or on board the ship during a long expedition, people could vote through the trusted person or on line or using other solutions. Now whats possible to put her into the numbers here for a look at the set. This takes 5 days on the 1st day, the voter turnout was about 30 to 6 percent scribe behind. On the 2nd version of the election was 22 percent. And on sunday city, the turnout was 18 percent and this correspond to what we saw during the 3 the votes of good over the past years. So friday has become a very popular day for voting good. And that for many reasons, some so what and so did most with, lets miss love and condition does solution to the southern is just my up early voting was also a major factor whos because we may try to avoid it for many reasons because theres just a moment because most of the complains focus on early voting, but we minimized even the number of crashes at the potomac, early voting procedures. But this time we had to you may have more extensive use of the solutions. But because of course was seeing cut down a stream conditions to insert regions and in the regions with that are these security challenges. We will offer that opportunity for people to vote early. And the same goes for putting into revolting abroad in front of the countries, especially in the west, the national, it was not, and they just seem to do to voters. So she looks, she might not be a foreign ministry, did everything to enable people to vote a its a socialist. Those ladies, we thought the commercial, kansas setup was also an effective solution. And we were upright, effective in terms of organizing the or the week voting on the southern u bus. And thanks to the own line, vote for us to sort this choose guys to live about 2600000 people were abels as a cost for their ballots. And we also use additional voting methods and ive been talking about them for these past few days. Or you might be, of course, we have to remember as a mobile phone with the solutions that are 5w1c9x5w3c4x8 pallets cost using this is solution and union. There were 4800000 questions cuz shes at us here. People voted remotely, that was probably not the not the, that you applied pushed is for voting on line. So almost 10000000 voters of a misspell. You could vote for staying or not in their registered towing station. Somebody at the place where they were during the election and which they found convenient for them all for all those who applied for the vote and remote point for the 90 percent use this right. So the quote that turned out during remotes ro, thing to him was 90 percent, is the best over metrics. 8000000 voters cast, iron ballasts during the remote floating. And for me, i would like, okay, 1st of all, mobile to mention without seeing for my cd project to have to its also help us increase for the 3rd turn now to see because every vote that receive the extensive information deposition gross has to look at the completion of we provide all the detailed information and explanations on behalf of our Election Commissioners. So you should us and of course, so she just said since plugging in the on the quizzes. But let me just mention of that for when door to door and visit 50 separate 7000000 households and that we received information and we updated the voting list for all these households. So this was a major, an extensive effort. Now the house which helped a lot in terms of housing, the successful election. So these are just numbers. May i dont see the 80 percent of a risk fund then in the fall would get it out. Said the, the just you with that is it would go to the polling stations, but you can still see that they both are turned out is quite high and it is similar to this results. So people were on this one, they promised to come to the following stations during the you ok, Opinion Survey that we carried out in historical folks that are from the end here. I would like to mention several factors. This includes the may cause this selection different from the previous valves, not only the results, the outcomes, some of this result of w 7 union. Thats what i have seen. This slide comparing this selection to the previous ones. Not yet the right people that there is no pressure. Yes, we had a slide on the boat. The turn now is the very well the fact that the was used to this, i would assume the was this to the aggression. So pressure will have been facing, it has been unprecedented. Of course, at every election that is outside pressure, bridgewater used to this, this is something permanent for us, but, so now were gonna press this time, you the outside pressure. And i think this is a willingness to the real and disrupt the election, reached an unprecedented scale apart from the traditional methods. So to discredit our election, we saw you solutions and new tools that were engage to do this effect the well for just let me 1st mention that d. Doff has yaks so that we face in assisting our digital bottles of a number has increased. The more of them thats spelled millions Cyber Attacks uses sense we launched the president ial campaign. Can you just imagine that 12000000 Cyber Attacks . So this means that there are a number increase 150 times compared to an ordinary election with the 150 times my factor for 150 times. I will agree with the western european different officials in this. I think most of us, some of the sense of the west of the united against the russians a useful as well. Well, organize the have the confidence as a and the these services on placing. And they tried. Graduates will fail the 6 year of the solutions you get message if this is this is aaron today we had the song 1942019 point. 80000 sweden potentially shes dangerous attacks last night. So, but i see you again some of the Central Election Commission website and that probably ends there were a 10 ship target to do a search tax and then well, well, well let them get that last. So the total sort of for, for the one minute struggle with those thoughts myself, but as a system thats you, it did not sales and was not disrupted by these attackers, us liberally. Some of that and the thing, god, what the river system is that the industry receives only the results. It is isolated from the Cyber Attacks. It is not yet connected through the internet sense of the opening of the vote. So we should, should we, so lets lock crease, the more example 422000. So that against the remote voting system. And the system of the main target was the voting for jones. And here i would like to tell you the following
