Vladimir Putin has confirmed that he will seek another term in office in next year’s presidential election adding that with the “active involvement” of its people, Russia “can deal with any, even the most complex challenges it faces.”“Russia will go only forward and no one will ever stop it. He added that “the motive behind [this very responsible decision] can be only the desire to make people’s lives in our country better and make the country itself more powerful and protected.”
The upcoming election on March 18 will be the fourth in Putin’s political career. He held the office of president for two terms from 2000 to 2008, and served as prime minister from 2008 to 2012. Putin then won a third term as president in 2012.
