Western countries criticized Putin’s big win in the election, calling it unfair.
But China, India, and North Korea congratulated him, showing a divide in how different parts of the world see Russia.
This split reflects the tensions since Russia invaded Ukraine. The EU discussed sanctions, calling the election a sham.
Meanwhile, Putin’s supporters say his high vote percentage proves his popularity. Ukraine’s president called the election illegitimate.
In contrast, leaders like China’s Xi Jinping and India’s Narendra Modi praised Putin, highlighting their strong ties. Even North Korea and Iran showed support.
In Africa, where Russia’s influence is growing, some countries see Putin’s win as a sign of shifting power dynamics.
This shows how global politics are changing, with different regions taking sides.
