Vladimir Putin's secure six-year term as Russia's president, which began in May 2024 and extends until 2030 following constitutional amendments resetting limits, underpins trader consensus at 96.5% for "No" on his departure by June 30. No verified developments—such as official resignation announcements, elite defections, or successful coup attempts—have emerged in recent months to challenge his grip, despite persistent unconfirmed health rumors from a leaked March coughing video and isolated pro-Kremlin criticisms. Ongoing Ukraine war strains and economic pressures have not triggered instability, reflecting the Kremlin's tight control over institutions and security apparatus. Realistic shifts could stem from sudden health crises, internal elite power struggles, or unforeseen military setbacks altering this trajectory.
