Vladimir Putin has won Russia's presidential election, with an exit poll claiming he won 87.97 per cent of the vote.
An exit poll by the Russian Public Opinion Research Centre (VCIOM) showed the landslide results for the 71-year-old on Sunday.
Polls have just closed in the westernmost region of Kaliningrad.
The results mean that Putin has been elected to another six year term as Russian President. The results have been met with backlash from the international community.
A White House National Security Council spokesperson said: ""The elections are obviously not free nor fair given how Mr. Putin has imprisoned political opponents and prevented others from running against him."
