TASS: Putin says not going to leave presidential office yet
MOSCOW, November 28. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin has said he is not going to leave his office yet.
"What’s the rush? I’m not going anywhere yet," he said with a smile, when one of the participants in the VTB Capital’s Russia Calling Investment Forum asked "what Russia will look like the next day Mr. Putin leaves the political stage?" The audience received Putin’s response with laughter.
"I can put it this way: Russia is already confident and self-sufficient, it is open for cooperation with all of our partners, including the United States," the Russian leader said, becoming serious. "I hope that it will be realized [by Russia’s foreign partners], and the need to accomplish common tasks and resolve common issues will encourage us to work together," he added.

WNU Editor: Russian President Putin remarked after winning this year's Russian Presidential election that he will not run in 2024. The critical year will be late 2022 when those who want to succeed him will be making their intentions known. In 2023 Putin will probably indicate who his favorite will be, and after that he will be a lame-duck President. I do not expect him to run again. But should he make the decision to change the constitution and run again .... like Chinese President Xi .... there will be a lot of opposition, and much of it within Putin's own entourage.
