- 8 December during the ceremony for the so-called “Heroes of the Fatherland Day” in Russia, Putin said that he would participate in the presidential elections because “it’s impossible otherwise” .
- For this statement, a real propaganda show was staged in Russia. The so-called “representative of the parliament” of the occupied part of the Donetsk region, Artem Zhoga, publicly “asked” the dictator to leave for the elections, supposedly on behalf of the entire “people of Donbass.”
- United Russia Party has already made it clear that Russia has no other way. The party's leadership said that it “unconditionally supports” Putin's nomination as a presidential candidate and will do everything for his victory.
- Note that when Putin is “re-elected”, this will be his fifth term in the Kremlin. He has ruled Russia since 1999.
