Putin began his fifth term at a glittering Kremlin inauguration, focusing on defending the Russian Constitution amidst global scrutiny over his actions in Ukraine and partnerships with regimes like China and North Korea.
Already in power for nearly a quarter-century, Putin's new term extends until 2030, marking him as the longest-serving Kremlin leader since Josef Stalin.
Putin acknowledged the 'heroes' of his war in Ukraine and criticized Western states, stating that Russia is open to dialogue while emphasizing that the choice is theirs.
