Putin addresses Red Square crowds after landslide win as West condemns 'undemocratic' election
Monday, 18 March 2024 Vladimir Putin has been cheered by large crowds in central Moscow after securing his fifth term as Russian president - in what Western nations have condemned as an "undemocratic" election.
In a shocking escalation, Russian forces launched a devastating missile attack targeting Ukraine’s secret intelligence communications centre. Massive explosions rocked Kyiv and surrounding regions, including Kharkiv and Sumy, as Russia claimed direct hits on Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate. The strikes, involving warplanes, drones, and ballistic missiles, also crippled critical airfield infrastructure. Ukrainian officials confirmed multiple explosions, raising alarms as the conflict intensified with unprecedented precision attacks on high-priority military targets. The destruction has heightened fears of further escalation in the ongoing war.
