The New York Times claims that the upcoming presidential election in Russia is connected to the military strategy of the Kremlin leader.
In March 2024, presidential elections will be held in Russia – the first since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. There is little doubt that Putin will run for a new presidential term. The New York Times reported it.
The upcoming presidential election in Russia is directly related to Putin’s military strategy for 2024. The important aspect is whether he will order a new mobilization, which will not find much support at home.
This will be the first presidential election in the Russian Federation after changes to the Russian Constitution, which actually allow Putin to run for a fifth time, “reset” the rules.
Analysts believe that “the war only worsens the course of the presidential campaign.”
Before the start of the election campaign, the Russian government organized a large exhibition in Moscow called Russia: a 500-meter video tunnel was created showing the various achievements of the country during the leadership of Putin, like building apartment buildings and highways. There is no mention of the Russian war against Ukraine in this video tunnel.
Let’s remember that Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the next president of Russia must be “the same” as Vladimir Putin to keep his “achievement.”
