The presidential election in Russia has just started – but EU Council President Charles Michel is already quite convinced of the result in advance.

“I would like to congratulate Vladimir Putin on his landslide victory in the election that starts today,” writes Michel in a sour post on X, formerly Twitter.

“No opposition, no freedom, no choice,” concludes Michel.
