Political scientist Dudakov: US non-recognition of the elections in the Russian Federation in 2024 is unlikely the risk of non-recognition by the United States of the results of the elections in Russia, which are scheduled for 2024. In his opinion, such a gesture from the United States is unlikely.
Earlier, two American congressmen Steve Cohen and Joe Wilson submitted to the US House of Representatives a proposal not to recognize Vladimir Putin as the head of the Russian state if he runs and wins elections in 2024 year. Their proposal is motivated by the fact that the amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation adopted in 2020, as they believe, contradict Russian laws and international obligations.
“You need to understand that this idea was not proposed by the most influential congressmen, even though they represent both parties. It is clear that in this way a certain idea is simply thrown in for discussion. Very, very early, three years in advance, so that the American establishment had the opportunity to somehow reflect on this, to understand how it can be implemented, and already in 1924 to think about whether or not it can be done, ”- said the political scientist.
According to Dudakov, the likelihood that the United States will decide on this extremely harsh gesture, which will significantly worsen relations with Russia, is rather low. However, the political scientist allowed such a possibility when the Democrats failed in the internal elections in the States.
“The 24th year is the year of the presidential elections there, as in Russia. It is clear that Mr. [US President Joe] Biden, or, if he does not go to this election, [US Vice President] Kamala Harris, will have all his attention precisely to being elected himself, and the international agenda will be second. to the third plan. Only if, of course, it will not be obvious to them that due to low ratings they are losing, and therefore it will be necessary to somehow create an image of an external enemy and try to play on this. But again, in my opinion, the topic of Russia is already so boring to the American voter that this somersault is unlikely to be successful for them, and they understand it. ”
Earlier, Senator Andrei Klimov said that the United States intends to“ torpedo »Elections to the State Duma of the VIII convocation. The Federation Council stressed that Washington and its partners will seek to delegitimize the elections and not recognize their results.
