Russia’s Putin hails victory in election criticised as illegitimate

Vladimir Putin has declared victory in Russia’s presidential election. With polling stations now closed and more than two-thirds of ballots counted. Early results show he's taken at least 87 percent of the vote, in an election that's been seen as a foregone conclusion. The third and final day of voting has seen a silent protest staged across Russia. Al Jazeera’s Yulia Shapovalova reports from Moscow, Russia.
