The ministry described it as a brutal violation of universally recognized norms and principles of international law. According to Kyiv, democratic countries should oppose the organized destruction of law and democratic values that Putin is trying to achieve.
It will be Putin’s fifth time taking the presidential oath. He did so for the first time in 2000, then in 2004. Due to the constitution, he could not then run for a third consecutive term, so he became the head of the government before becoming president again in 2012. He was also re-elected in 2018.
In January 2021, Putin signed a law that allows him to run for the post of head of state twice more, and he can thus be president until 2036, when he would be 83 years old and would have had 36 years of rule. In doing so, he would surpass even the communist dictator Joseph Stalin, who was in power from 1927-1953, i.e. 26 years.
