Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law on Monday allowing him to run for two more terms in the Kremlin after his current term ends in 2024, documents posted to a government website show.

The law will allow the Russian president potentially to hold power until 2036, a decision stemming from constitutional changes endorsed in last year’s July 1 popular vote.
