Vladimir Putin is looking to extend his rule by winning another six-year term as president in what many consider to be a sham election.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is looking to secure another term in office as president, and there is no doubt in the minds of Russians or observers around the world that Putin will cement his hold on power for at least another six years. Putin is Russia’s longest-serving leader since Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin and was first appointed prime minister 25 years ago in 1999 by then-President Boris Yeltsin.
Vladimir Putin is planning to glide into reelection that will be neither free nor fair. We already know the winner of this election charade,' Ivana Stradner, research fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, told Fox News Digital. U.S. intelligence is already saying that Russia will again attempt to interfere in the November presidential election, and information warfare remains Putin’s most effective tool to sow chaos and weaken the United States.
The U.S. State Department flatly rejected such assertions. 'The United States does not take sides in foreign elections; our only interest is in the democratic process. The Russian people deserve free and fair elections and the ability to choose among candidates,' a State Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
It’s important to clarify what ‘pre-determined’ really means when we talk about the upcoming Russian elections. Putin will almost certainly win another six-year term as Russia’s president in the upcoming election. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that the election will be rigged in a sense that voter results will be manipulated,' Rebekah Koffler, strategic military intelligence analyst and former Defense Intelligence Agency official, told Fox News Digital.
The Russian election begins on March 15. Voters will have a chance to cast their ballots through March 17, and early voting has already taken place in Russian-occupied Ukrainian territory that Russia claims to have annexed in September 2022. Results are expected relatively soon after the polls close on Sunday.
