Russia's Vladimir Putin sworn in as president for a fifth term
- Country:
- Russia
Russian President Vladimir Putin was sworn in for a new six-year presidential term on Tuesday in a ceremony boycotted by the United States and many European Union nations due to the war in Ukraine.
Putin won a landslide victory in a presidential election in March more than two years after he sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine.
Some Western governments said his re-election was flawed because voters were not given a real alternative, a charge rejected by Moscow which says Putin enjoys the overwhelming support of the Russian people.
