Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said that it is still premature to talk about the participation of Vladimir Putin in the 2024 elections. Interfax reports this with reference to Peskov’s interview with the Izvestia newspaper.
“There is a decision that there will be elections. Under the conditions of the SVO, the prospects for holding elections – both in September and then presidential ones – were called into question. But we heard in the message that these and others should be. That it is an integral part of the development of our society and political system. Toward the end, by the middle of the second half of this year, we will enter the electoral season one way or another. So far, there are no pre-election or electoral moods – Putin has a lot to do. He’s definitely not up to it now. We have not heard from him so far any statements where he would speak about nominating or not nominating his candidacy. That is, it is still a little bit premature,” Peskov said.
The press secretary of the President of Russia noted that “you just need to be patient.”
