President Vladimir Putin has already decided to run in the election, Reuters reported last week, citing six sources, a move that will keep him in power until least 2030 as he seeks to steer Russia through its most uncertain period in decades.

The Kremlin, asked on Monday about a report in Russia's Kommersant newspaper that preparations were afoot to nominate President Vladimir Putin to run again in March's presidential election, said no decisions had been made yet.
