Putin is ‘modern-day Stalin’ who ‘stole’ Russian election, Shapps says.

Defence Secretary Grant Shapps accuses Russian President Vladimir Putin of behaving like "a modern-day Stalin" after the election in Russia sees Putin tighten his grip on power. Foreign Secretary Lord David Cameron denounces the election, stating it was not "free and fair" as Putin wins nearly 88% of the vote. Shapps alleges that Putin "stole another election" as serious challengers were wiped out before voting began, and independent monitoring was limited.
