When Putin wins — a near-certainty since he allows virtually no opposition to his regime — he would remain president until at least 2030.Last month, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Putin — who has been waging all-out war on Ukraine since February 2022 — could “hardly” face any real competition if he was to run again, given that he is the “unquestionably top-ranked political figure” in the country.
