Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday that his country would not be intimidated, as he looked set to secure another six years in power after a three-day vote.
“No matter who or how much they want to intimidate us, no matter who or how much they want to suppress us, our will, our consciousness — no one has ever succeeded in anything like this in history. It has not worked now and will not work in the future. Never,” Putin said in an address on state television.
