Putin begins fifth term as Russian President with focus on making new world order

Vladimir Putin has been sworn in for his fifth term as Russian President amidst international controversy and boycotts from Western nations due to Russia's involvement in the war in Ukraine.

Putin's inauguration comes after over two years of Russian military presence in Ukraine, where Russian forces have made significant gains in the east. Despite the challenges and opposition from the West, Putin expressed confidence during the ceremony, emphasizing Russia's resilience and determination to overcome obstacles.

At 71 years old, Putin remains a dominant figure in Russian politics, with a firm grip on power domestically. Internationally, he continues to clash with Western nations, accusing them of attempting to undermine Russia through their actions in Ukraine. Putin's victory in the recent election, marked by the absence of key opposition figures like Alexey Navalny, has sparked criticism and allegations of electoral manipulation, further fueling tensions both at home and abroad.

Despite these challenges, Putin's supporters see him as a strong leader guiding Russia through turbulent times, while critics, including Navalny's widow, denounce him as a dictator and call for continued opposition to his rule.
