Vladimir Putin said he had not yet decided whether to run for 6 more years in the Kremlin

Russian President Vladimir Putin said he had not yet decided whether to run for 6 more years in the Kremlin when his current term ends in 2024, while praising U.S. President Joe Biden’s decision to seek re-election in that year, writes Reuters.

Speaking at an investment forum in Moscow, the Kremlin leader suggested that the very option of him being able to run for president again had prevented the political system from being undermined.

“Whether or not I do this is yet to be decided, but the very existence of this right (to run) is already stabilizing the domestic political situation… What President Biden said about his possible re-election I think he was absolutely right to do. Because if you don’t start preparing for the elections, I think the governability of the country will suffer to a significant degree”, - said Putin.
