Vladimir Putin announced he will run for re-election in the presidential election to be held in Russia in March 2024.<\/p>\n

The Russian President shared the news on Friday, as he was handing out Hero of Russia awards, a title handed out following heroic deeds carried out in the service of the state.<\/p>\n

Artem Zhoga, the current commander of pro-Russian force called Sparta Battalion involved in the war in Ukraine, said Putin agreed without hesitation when asked about his intention to run again.<\/p>\n

Kremlin pool correspondent Andrei Kolesnikov wrote that “the president agreed. The rest then joined the request”.<\/p>\n

Until now, Putin had not commented on his desire to take part in the election despite being widely expected to do so, given in April 2021 he had signed a law allowing him to seek re-election twice more in his lifetime.<\/p>\n
