You're reading: Putin to think whether he should run for reelection

Russian President Vladimir Putin said he would think whether he should run for reelection in 2018.

A resident of the Cheremushki village in the Republic of Buryatia made a video-call during the Thursday meeting chaired by the president to discuss the cleanup of wildfire aftereffects in Buryatia and the Irkutsk region to tell the meeting participants about the restoration of homes damaged by fire.

The villager also addressed the president. “Vladimir Vladimirovich, we have a request: we are asking you to run for reelection in the next ballot,” he said.

“I will think about it, thank you,” Putin said.
