The president of Russia, Vladimir Putinwho was re-elected on Sunday for a fifth term, met today in the Kremlin with the other three candidates for the Presidency, to whom he proposed working together for the final victory in Ukraine.
“We need to actively continue working together in the country’s parliament, working together to promote those ideas, the implementation of which will allow us to get closer to solving the problems facing the country.”he pointed.
Putin received the communist candidate Nikolai Kharitonov; the representative of Gente Nueva, Vladislav Davankov, and the ultranationalist Leonid Slutski.
He added that all Kremlin candidates, including his tenant, have “common objectives”. “We have common objectives, it is obvious. I know this thanks to close contacts with your parties and yourselves.”he claimed.
The three candidates, who received between 3.2% and the 4.3% of the votes, began their interventions with words of congratulations to Putin.
“Vladímir Vladimirovich, allow me to congratulate you. We recognize his victory.”said Kharitonov, the first of the three politicians to speak.
Meanwhile, Slutski assured that the election result confirmed the “great authority of the leader of the nation” before sharing some points of the program of the Liberal-Democratic Party, which he has headed since May 2022, after the death of the veteran leader of that faction Vladimir Zhirinovski.
Also the “liberal” Davankov, for whom a part of the Russian opposition voted, congratulated Putin with his “convincing” victory.
“You are right when you say that we have a common objective, and that is victory in the special military operation (in Ukraine) and lasting peace”he added.
Putin, 71, achieved his biggest electoral victory in these elections since he came to power in 2000, despite the war in Ukraine and Western economic sanctions.
He will remain president of this country for another six years, after which he will be able to run for reelection again, since in 2020 he reformed the clauses of the Constitution that prevented him from continuing in the Kremlin.
The Russian opposition could not participate in the elections, since the authorities did not register their candidates, who supported peace in Ukraine.
