Kremlin Says 'Theoretically Possible' to Not Hold Presidential Elections in 2024 as "it's already obvious that Putin will be elected"

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made this remarks to Russia’s RBC news website after the New York Times quoted him forecasting a 90% victory for Putin in next year's presidential election. "Although elections are a requirement of democracy and Putin himself has decided to hold them, theoretically it’s possible not to hold them,” he said.
