Russia's Constitutional Court Approves New Term for Putin

RFE/RL

   Russia's Constitutional Court has approved amendments that, among other
   changes, would allow Vladimir Putin to run again for president in 2024.

   The constitutional changes are due to be put to a nationwide vote in
   April.

   In January, Putin announced a major shake-up of Russian politics and a
   constitutional overhaul, which the Kremlin described as a
   redistribution of power from the presidency to parliament.
