RT: ‘Two terms in a row. That’s it’: Putin on the future of his presidency

When Vladimir Putin was asked if he’s planning to run for office again in 2024, he said he always follows the country’s Constitution that says only two terms in a row are possible.

“I always strictly followed and will follow the Constitution of Russia. The Constitution clearly states – no more than two terms in a row,” Putin said during a meeting with media heads as part of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) on Friday.

“Now is my second term. As you remember, I’ve been president twice previously and then abandoned the position of president because the constitution didn’t allow getting elected for the third time. That’s it. And I intend to follow this rule in the future,” the 65-year-old explained.

On his desk are two containers, to his right a container of various types of pens, to his left one of various sharpened pencils some colored.

Since he is left handed the placement of the containers is of some interest.
