- Russian President Vladimir sworn in for fifth term
- Countries including America, Canada, Britain boycotted the oath ceremony
- “He will not stop talking to the West,” Putin said during the swearing-in.
Vladimir Putin has once again become the President of Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin was sworn in as president for the fifth time. The 33-word oath was taken for the next six years at the Grand Kremlin Palace on Tuesday.
This grand oath ceremony was boycotted in many western countries including America, Canada, Britain due to Russia’s war in Ukraine. The Grand Kremlin Palace is where the three Tsars of Russia, Alexander-II, Alexander-III and Nicholas-II, were sworn in as kings. Putin took the oath of office for the first time in 2002. Since then, he has become the President in 2004, 2012 and 2018.
Putin has been in power continuously since 1999 as President and Prime Minister. More than two years after Russia’s war with Ukraine killed thousands of troops, he is starting his new term.
After being sworn in as the President of Russia, Putin said that we will become stronger. We will try to improve relations with countries that consider us as enemies. I will try my best to keep the public’s faith intact. In Russia’s March 15-17 election, 88 percent of the vote was received. Anti-Putin Nikolay Kharitonov received only four percent of the vote.
Apart from this, Lokmukh in Russia discussed that Putin’s hand was involved in the death of Nevenli, who was considered a staunch opponent of Putin. Yet the anti-Putin movement did not intensify and Putin returned to power.
