Vladimir Putin Sworn in for Fifth Term as Russia's President.
In a ceremony snubbed by the UK, US, and most European envoys, Vladimir Putin has begun his fifth term as Russia's president, potentially extending his rule to 30 years. Putin's bellicose speech emphasized Russia's national interests, despite the devastating war in Ukraine and escalating tensions with the West.
While the inauguration follows an uncontested election criticized as unfree and unfair, it may lead to a government reshuffle and unpopular decisions like tax hikes to offset war costs and Western sanctions. Putin's new term is expected to bring little change to Russia's political landscape, but may intensify his grip on power.
