Vladimir Putin is the current President of Russia. There is speculation that he may choose to retire and appoint his successor in advance of the 2024 presidential election in Russia. This would mean that instead of running for another term, Putin would select someone to take over the presidency before the election takes place. This decision would likely have significant political implications for Russia and could potentially shape the country's future direction. It is important to note that Putin's term in office is set to end in 2024, and if he does not retire or appoint a successor, he will have to run for the election again.Vladimir Putin is the current President of Russia.
