TL;DR Summary

Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to win the country's presidential election with an estimated 88% of the vote, amid allegations of attacks by Ukraine and criticism from international observers. The election, which lacked serious opposition candidates, has sparked protests and arrests across Russia. Putin's victory would make him Russia's longest-serving leader, but has drawn condemnation from the US and Germany, while supporters of opposition figure Alexei Navalny have called for protests. Putin also warned of a potential conflict with NATO, while a concert in Moscow is expected to celebrate his victory and mark 10 years since Russia's annexation of Crimea.
