The United States proposed not to recognize Putin as the President of Russia after 2024

US Congressmen Cohen and Wilson proposed not recognizing Putin as president after 2024

a proposal that called for not recognizing Russian President Vladimir Putin as head of state if he decides to run for this position in 2024. This follows from the text of the published document.

According to American politicians, the amendments to the Russian Constitution, which were introduced in 2020, contradict both Russian legislation and international obligations. In this regard, congressmen believe, the United States should not recognize any attempts by Putin to remain in the presidency after 2024, at the end of his current term.

It is noted that if this document is adopted, it will be of a recommendatory nature … In addition, as RIA Novosti writes, the prospects for the adoption of the resolution in the House of Representatives remain in question.

Vice-Speaker of the Federation Council of Russia Konstantin Kosachev considered the draft resolution to be interference in the country's internal affairs. He also called the initiative of the congressmen a provocation aimed at disrupting relations between Russia and the United States, which began to normalize. In turn, the head of the ad hoc committee of the Federation Council for the protection of state sovereignty and prevention of interference in the internal affairs of Russia, Andrei Klimov, suggested that the American parliamentarians thus tried to promote themselves before the summit for democracy.

In the State Duma, commenting on the proposal of Cohen and Wilson, stated that it was absurd. According to the first deputy chairman of the lower house committee on international affairs, Alexei Chepa, Russia is already accustomed to the silly antics of major US politicians.
