Elections in Russia
In Russia, the "elections" will take place over three days, from March 15 to March 17, 2024. On December 8, 2023, Putin officially announced his intention to run for re-election.
As Reuters reported, thanks to the "elections," the dictator can remain in power until at least 2030. Meanwhile, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has already stated that Putin will be re-elected with a result of 90% of the votes.
Meanwhile, the Security Service of Ukraine has revealed how pseudo-elections are taking place in the occupied territories. According to Vadym Skibitskyi, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the results of the "elections" are already known in the Kremlin beforehand.
