Putin’s Reelection
Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced that he is running for another six years of presidency. Even though he has put a tremendous amount of funds and brought fighting into Russia with the war in Ukraine, Putin is still the front runner and, according to NBC News, will likely win the election.
After a short-lived rebellion in January, the people wondered if Putin would still be the front runner. Instead, after the leader of the rebellion miraculously disappeared, it is more clear than ever Putin is the front runner. Throughout his presidency, Putin has used his leverage to amend the constitution twice in order to stay in power until he’s in his mid-80s. His term is the longest-serving leader in the country since Soviet dictator Josef Stalin.
