Russia’s Vladimir Putin sworn in as president for record fifth term. President Vladimir Putin has been sworn in for a new six-year term at a ceremony that was boycotted by the United States and a number of other Western countries because of Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Putin, in power as president or prime minister since 1999, begins his new mandate more than two years after he sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine, where Russian forces have regained the initiative after a series of reversals and are seeking to advance further in the east.

During Tuesday’s inauguration in the Grand Kremlin Palace for a record fifth presidential term, Putin said Russia would pass through the current “difficult” period stronger and emerge victorious.
