According to international media reports, former television journalist Yekaterina Duntsova has applied to run against Russian leader Vladimir Putin in the presidential elections in March 2024.
The 40-year-old local politician in Tver Oblast and mother of three has publicly spoken out in favor of “peace” in Ukraine, but refrains from using the term “war” in her interviews with journalists. “Sooner or later, every armed conflict ends and I hope this one ends as soon as possible,” Duntsova said last month.
The former reporter submitted documents to the Central Election Commission of Russia to officially register his candidacy. To advance as a candidate, she must collect 300,000 signatures nationwide by January 31st.
