There is a big threat to him: how the West will perceive Putin after the elections

This week the so-called “presidential elections” are taking place in Russia. It is clear that there is no free will there. It is already clear how exactly the West will react this time.

About this 24 Channel said political scientist Vladimir Fesenko, noting that it is already known in advance how the West will react to the next “elections” in Russia.

What to expect from the West

As Fesenko noted, the West will react in the same way as before. Most likely, no harsh statements will be made there. Everything will be limited to the fact that they will not recognize voting in temporarily occupied territories, etc.

The West will not make any statements. These elections will not be recognized there. They will not and will not admit it. Everyone in the West understands that Putin is not a democratic leader. The voting procedure is not democratic. The political system in Russia is not democratic. But they have to deal with a dictator,” Fesenko said.

Now Putin is perceived only in a limited format. He does not have the opportunity to conduct full-fledged external activities. A much greater threat to him is not statements from Western countries about illegitimate elections, but a warrant from the International Criminal Court.

This is a greater threat to Putin. He is afraid to travel to Western countries and those states that recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC. He is limited in his international rights. But since Russia is a nuclear power, they are forced to deal with Putin in order to prevent a nuclear war, Fesenko noted.

There is no need to create the illusion that Western countries will stop recognizing Putin . When necessary, they will deal with him. But in fact, its capabilities are now significantly limited than before.

• Putin went to the “elections” of the President of Russia for the fifth time. “Voting” began on March 15th. At the same time, leaflets were posted in the Moscow region, which stated that “Putin will soon be finished.”
