No Statements Yet from Putin about Running in 2024 Election: Kremlin
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Russian President Vladimir Putin has not announced a decision to seek another term in office yet, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
When asked to comment on a Reuters report that Putin had allegedly decided to run in the March 2024 presidential election, Peskov told TASS, "Putin has not made any statements on the matter yet."
