The legislature, controlled by the Kremlin, approved the adjustment and Putin signed the relevant law. The law was posted to an official portal of legal information on Monday, as reported by the <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-putin-signs-law-allows-2-more-terms-d9acdada71b75c3daeafb389782fed4b\">Associated Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>His current term is six years and he has said that he will decide at a later date if he is going to run in 2024, the outlet reported. Putin is 68 years old and is the longest serving Kremlin leader since the Soviet dictator Josef Stalin held power in Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Putin has reportedly argued that making the change was needed in order to ensure his lieutenants stayed focused on their tasks instead of \u201cdarting their eyes in search for possible successors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>AP reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"9\">\n<p><em>The constitutional amendments also emphasized the primacy of Russian law over international norms, outlawed same-sex marriages and mentioned \u201ca belief in God\u201d as a core value. Nearly 78% of voters approved the constitutional amendments during the balloting that lasted for a week and concluded on July 1. Turnout was 68%.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Kremlin has been watched by the world lately as Putin critic and opposition leader Alexei Navalny remains in prison after being arrested following his return to Moscow from Germany where he was recovering after he was poisoned by a nerve agent. The Kremlin has denied any involvement with the poisoning. However, Navalny holds Russian authorities responsible for his poisoning. The U.S. intelligence community has also \u201cconcluded with high confidence that Navalny was poisoned last year with a banned nerve agent called Novichok by the Russian security services,\u201d according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/03\/02\/biden-administration-sanctions-russia-over-navalny-imprisonment-472397\">Politico<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Alexei Navalny has requested medical care while in prison but his condition is reportedly worsening. He announced a hunger strike recently, and was moved to a medical facility on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The United States has also had recent exchanges with Russia. Last month, Putin responded to President Biden saying that the Russian president was a \u201ckiller\u201d during an interview with ABC News. Putin challenged Biden to a discussion during a live broadcast event, as reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/putin-challenges-biden-to-a-live-public-broadcast-discussion-russia-ups-challenge-after-biden-silent\">The Daily Wire<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/putin-challenges-biden-to-a-live-public-broadcast-discussion-russia-ups-challenge-after-biden-silent\">The Daily Wire<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"27\">\n<p><em>\u201cI would say to him: I wish you good health,\u201d Putin initially said on Thursday. \u201cAlthough they think we are the same as them, we are different people; we have a different genetic and cultural-moral code. But we know how to defend our own interests, and we will work with them but in those areas in which we are interested and on terms we consider favorable for us. And they will have to reckon with that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Later, when speaking on television, Putin, according to Reuters, \u201ccited a Russian children\u2019s playground chant to scathingly respond to Biden\u2019s accusation with the comment that \u2018he who said it, did it.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI want to offer President Biden to continue our discussion but on the condition that we do it live, online, without any delays but in an open, direct discussion,\u201d Putin said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was later asked about Putin\u2019s challenge. At the time, she said that she did not have anything to report \u201cin terms of a future meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Russia later upped the challenge, \u201csaying that it has formally reached out to the Biden administration to arrange the meeting under the conditions that Putin offered and that it has yet to hear back,\u201d The Daily Wire reported.<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
