Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed he would run for re-election next year, a widely expected move that could keep him in power until at least 2030.
Putin announced his bid on Friday following a ceremony for military personnel and other guests. In a video clip posted on the Kremlin’s Telegram messenger channel, a guest asked Putin to run for re-election and the Russian leader agreed. “I will run for office,” he is heard saying.
