Russian President Vladimir Putin’s announcement that he will run for office again next year is a “logical” move considering the current global situation, former Russian leader Dmitry Medvedev said on Friday.
Medvedev’s comments came after Putin officially announced earlier in the day that he would seek reelection in 2024.
In a statement provided to the media by his assistant, former President Medvedev stated that taking into account global circumstances and the “dramatic period” Russia is going through, Putin’s decision is “absolutely logical and correct.”
“His work as president must be continued,” Medvedev, who currently serves as deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, was quoted as saying.
