“I liked Putin’s actions. I would like to point out that in the 2018 elections, when I announced the Russian elections, which I believe should be done, the main thing who heard me was Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. We redid the Constitution, introduced spiritual and moral values into it, and in 2022 we launched a special military operation to denazify Ukraine. I support the president so much that I decided to support him not behind the scenes, but publicly,” he said.
On January 30, Sergei Baburin announced that he was withdrawing his candidacy from the presidential elections. He did this immediately after submitting signatures for registration to the CEC.
