According to his spokesman, Russian President Vladimir Putin has not yet commented on running again in the 2024 election. Putin is not in the pre-election mood, he has a lot to do, “that doesn’t suit him at all,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the Moscow newspaper “Isvestia”. “We haven’t heard any statements from him saying whether he’s running or not. That means it’s a bit early now.”
The 70-year-old Putin has been in charge of the world’s largest country since 2000. A little over a year ago, he ordered the Russian invasion of neighboring Ukraine. According to an amended constitution, Putin can run again in the 2024 presidential election. In previous elections, too, the Kremlin chief had not announced his candidacy for a long time, even though it was clear that he wanted to retain power.
