Only the Constitution interferes

At a press conference following negotiations with the Finnish President, Vladimir Putin was asked about his tenure as president after 2008. The Russian president replied that perhaps he would like to, “but the country’s constitution does not allow this.” At the same time, he emphasized: “I believe that in today’s Russia the most important thing is stability, which can only be achieved on the basis of constitutional provisions.” But it’s not difficult to change the Constitution. In the name of stability.
