Kremlin's Election Strategy and Ukraine's Diplomatic Approach.
The Kremlin reportedly expects a higher-than-normal turnout for the 2024 presidential election with President Vladimir Putin winning at least three-fourths of the vote. The strategy counts on an increased number of voters due to Moscow’s contested annexation of four Ukrainian regions last September. Putin himself has not yet confirmed plans to run for a fifth term next year, but he has promised that the election will take place as planned.
