ICYMI: Vladimir Putin could be 'dragged from power' by 2024: Ex-U.S. official
The 69-year-old politician – who first served as the Russian president from 2000 until 2008 and has been continually relected since 2012 – launched a military invasion on the neighbouring country of Ukraine back in February 2022 and is said to be aware that there is “a lot of dissatisfaction” in Russia and is “fearful” of the 2024 election in case there is a repetition of the protests that took place in the past.
U.S. National Security Council’s former senior director Fiona Hill said: “He’s fearful of a repetition of what happened when he last returned to the presidency in 2011 and 2012, where we had protests in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and other major cities. Putin knows that there is a lot of dissatisfaction hidden beneath the surface.
The analyst went on to explain that when it comes to “socioeconomic issues,” Russia can be “rife” but Putin wants to move past the conflict because the “clock is ticking.”: “Russia is often ripe for protests, particularly on socioeconomic issues. Putin’s going to worry about that as we get towards 2024 for another reason: There are people around Putin who believe he’s not justified in having this next set of two terms. He was supposed to end his term in 2024.
