"The result of the elections represents the citizens' total confidence that we will do everything as planned."
Russian President Vladimir Putin said this, having already been re-elected, speaking from his campaign headquarters at the end of the elections.
Putin also expressed thanks to the soldiers fighting in Ukraine.
He then underlined that his victory in the elections will allow Russia to consolidate society and become "stronger and more effective".
“No one will ever suppress Russia when we are consolidated, we are a united family,” he said.
"No matter how much they tried to scare us, to suppress our will, our conscience, no one has ever succeeded in history. They have failed now and they will fail in the future", he added, to the exultation of his supporters.
My victory, he added, shows that Russia was right to choose its current path.
