In a statement made on Friday, President Vladimir Putin declared his intention to run for the presidency in the upcoming 2024 election, a move that could secure his stay in power until at least 2030.

The election is scheduled to take place from March 15 to 17, 2024, with the participation of approximately 110 million eligible voters in Russia. However, historical trends show a lower turnout, with the 2018 election recording a 67.5% participation rate.
Putin assumed the presidency in 1999, succeeding Boris Yeltsin, and has since become the longest-serving leader of Russia after Joseph Stalin. Notably, Mark Galeotti’s book, “Putin’s Wars,” provides a comprehensive overview of Russia’s military engagements from the 2000s to the present. Galeotti, a renowned scholar of Russian political and security affairs, details the two Chechen wars, Russian involvement in the Syrian conflict, the invasion of Georgia, the annexation of Crimea, and the extensive conflict in Ukraine.

Galeotti’s work goes beyond chronicling recent conflicts, delving into the challenges faced by successive defense ministers in reorganizing Russia’s top-heavy and outdated armed forces. Putin’s first defense minister, Sergei Ivanov (2001–2007), advocated for a contract army over mass conscription, facing resistance from military generals.
I would like to draw readers attention to a potential connecting dot: due of the genocide in Gaza, there is just so much to go around. The aid by Ukraine’s western allies is petering out. It was Iran funded Hamas that initiated the attack that spread literally like a fire, impounding of Gaza- just at as a deal between Saudi Arab & Israel was about to go through that would have largely benefitted the Palestinians. Of course, disadvantage to Iran. The arrow found another target as well. The fire spread & spread. Reaction by Israel was maybe judged well. The catastrophe that hit the world in their cumulative faces, took Ukraine to the sub-text, eventually making her weaker to fight Russia.
