MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law allowing him to run for two more terms in the Kremlin once his current term ends in 2024, a document posted on a government website showed on Monday. .

The legislation, which could pave the way for Putin to remain in power until 2036 should he decide to do so and win re-election, reflects radical changes to the constitution that were introduced last year.
