Russian President, Vladimir Putin has stirred controversy as he reportedly signed a legislation formally granting him the right to stay in power until 2036, Oyogist.com reports.
Putin term in office was scheduled to come to an end in 2024, as Russia’s previous Constitution requires him to step down that year.
Putin has previously said he hasn’t yet decided whether to run for president again, saying 2024 is still far off.
See some Reactions below;
Putin has his propaganda machine revving up preparing for additional Russian action in Ukraine. He will push the envelope…and the West/US should give him no quarter.
Let's please put the both in the next rocket and drop them off on Mars, where they can rule in perpetuity and leave the rest of us in peace.https://t.co/fqlt5ALbwt
