Press Release, 28.11.2023

Everyone knows that Russian elections are, to put it mildly, special. Especially in 2024. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Kremlin announced the result already in August of 2023: Dmitry Peskov, Press Secretary of the President, said that Vladimir Putin would win the presidential elections in 2024 with a result of more than 90%. Certainly, they will announce about 75-78% in the end, everything is clear with the Central Electoral Commission.

However, there are more than 100 million voters in Russia. It is they – voters, citizens of the country, people – who should must formulate what they want.

Do they want an end to the special military operation and life without fear, do they want a clear future for themselves and their children, do they want a fair judicial system, the rule of law and an independent press, do they want the country to get out from isolation, do they want an efficient economy and improved welfare? People must finally say whether they want a different life or they want all this to go on as it is now?

This is the key choice. And it must be formulated by the people.

For me to make a decision on nomination as a candidate for the presidential elections in Russia at least 10 million informal signatures will be enough. This is only 10% of voters who will thereby express their readiness to support my stance for peace and fundamental change in Russia. This is not a vote yet, this is a mandate from voters: 10 million signatures for the nomination of a presidential candidate who advocates a ceasefire will mean a step towards big changes in our country.
