“National candidate”: Korotchenko predicted Putin’s victory with a “deafening result” in the elections

“I chose the site that I considered the most appropriate”

President Vladimir Putin, in a conversation with participants in the ceremony in honor of the Heroes of the Fatherland Day, said that he would run for the post of President of Russia. Adding that “there is no other way today.” We talked with Igor Korotchenko, editor-in-chief of the National Defense magazine, about why this particular site was chosen.

“It is logical that the participants in the special operation, during the ceremony of awarding Heroes of Russia, asked Vladimir Putin to be nominated for a new presidential term,” says Igor Korotchenko. — Thus expressing a unanimous point of view. I think that Vladimir Putin will go to the polls as a popular candidate. And it will receive overwhelming popular support. And as a leader who personifies Russia’s desire to achieve a better and fairer world. And as a politician who defends national interests, builds a strong, effective Russia, looking to the future.

According to the military analyst, the hopes of many people are tied to Vladimir Putin.

— Of course, the army, the Armed Forces, will vote for him almost one hundred percent.

— Many expected the president to announce the next term during the live line and press conference on December 14.

“Sometimes certain fateful decisions are made based on the current situation. I think that the emotional mood of the audience played a role. The President responded to the words of the hero of the DPR, commander of the Sparta battalion Artem Zhoga after the ceremony of awarding stars to the Heroes of Russia. Confirming that he will live up to the hopes placed on him. Moreover, a special military operation is underway, we are confronting the collective West. A lot depends on how events will develop further. Therefore, the new presidential term will be a confirmation of the political course that was set and formed during the SVO.

According to Igor Korotchenko, Vladimir Putin informed the nation and the world about his decision to run for the post of President of Russia, and chose the platform that he considered the most correct.

“Many have breathed a sigh of relief; people hope that under Putin there will be no “negotiations.”

— There is no doubt that territorial boundaries cannot be revised. This is out of the question. There is a constitution, everything is clearly written in it. There are simply various false stories; there is an information war going on against Russia. In any case, even the West understands perfectly well that Putin will win the elections with a resounding result. People will confirm that the political course pursued by Russia meets their interests. Russians will vote for a better future.

The 2024 presidential elections will take place over three days: March 15, 16 and 17.
