The announcement was long expected after the Constitution was amended in 2020, effectively allowing the Russian leader to stay in power until 2036.
Nikolay Petrov, an analyst with the German Institute for International and Security Affairs, said, “This is not an election, this is the re-election of the same leader.”
“Mr. Putin is essentially competing with himself — with the younger Putin,” Mr. Petrov added. “It is important for him to show that he is not in a worse place than he was 25 years ago.”
The invasion of Ukraine was perhaps the most consequential decision Mr. Putin had taken for Russia during his 23 years in power. He also ordered an unpopular mobilization campaign last year, in which hundreds of thousands of men were called up to fight in the war.

Putin should not be able to be the president of Russia any longer
@9HJ9B7B5mos5MO
It makes me nervous because he knows no boundaries, and he could turn on our alliance at any given time.

Putin is a bad leader for Russia and a bad influence form american citizens
@9HJFR785mos5MO
I think that Putin has been in office for wayyy too long. Also he’s just like, a terrible ruler and he’s implemented lots of homophobic laws which is just awful. The way he uses homophobic laws to distract the media from internal political issues is just so **** y and stupid. These are real people suffering from your consequences.
@9HJG33N5mos5MO
Many things are going on to say which is important
@9HJMBFQ 5mos5MO
My personal opinion is that Putin should not serve another term. Putin has already declared war. Also, there should be new ideas for Russia's government.
@9HJK5XX5mos5MO
If Putin wins another term, issues in the country may not be resolved for even longer (such as war).
