It should not come as a shock to anyone that Russian President Vladimir Putin has decided to run again in Russia’s 2024 presidential election, according to a Reuters report on Monday which cited six anonymous sources, given especially the war (or rather, ‘special military operation’) that he authorized in Ukraine is still in full swing.
“The decision has been made — he will run,” one source was quoted in Reuters as saying. A 2024 run would mark his fifth term as president, and the legal path was paved when in 2020 the Russian population voted to overwhelmingly approve an overhaul to the national constitution.
