"The results of these elections are truly surprising - they are unprecedented. As I contemplate this, considering all the figures and statistics at hand, it becomes clear just how wise our people have proven to be. The unprecedented unity within our society and the recognition that this is not just a presidential choice, but a crucial stage in Russia's battle, is remarkable," Pamfilova said.
Pamfilova also emphasised that the voting was conducted safely despite claims of 'interference' from 'unfriendly countries'.
"This time, there was indecent interference in the process - a level of interference that we have unfortunately become accustomed to," Pamfilova added.
