Vladimir Putin has secured his fifth term as Russia's president in an election that lacked real competition, debates, or issues to be debated, marking the start of what is described as an unconstitutional term. Observers and critics have pointed out the absence of a genuine electoral process, highlighting Putin as the sole significant candidate and noting that there was no election last weekend. In the wake of this victory, discussions have emerged regarding the implications for Russia, including reflections on Putin's decades-long rule characterized by increased state control over the economy, reduced social spending, and a significant rise in military expenditure. Questions are also being raised about the potential for domestic discontent if the Russian economy declines or if Russian troops lose momentum.

"There was no election in Russia last weekend. There was no campaign. There were no debates, which was unsurprising, because no issues could be debated. Above all, there were no real candidates, bar one": Putin, who starts his fifth, unconstitutional term. https://t.co/MBL7oMisL3
