WASHINGTON DC, 19th March.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday hit back at the US for criticising his country’s presidential election process, a news media reported.

Mr. Putin accused the US of using all its administrative resources to suppress one of the American presidential candidates, apparently referred to Republican frontrunner and former President Donald Trump, who is facing a litany of lawsuits.

Putin made the statement as he spoke to journalists in Moscow on Monday after the preliminary results indicated his victory with over 87 per cent of the vote in the Russia presidential elections.

He said that the “whole world is laughing at what is happening” in the US, RT reported.

“We are behaving with more restraint than their opponents in other countries, but this is just a catastrophe, not a democracy – that’s what it is,” Putin was quoted in State media.
