Putin’s consolidated authority, reinforced by his 2024 presidential victory and the United Russia party’s record parliamentary gains in the September 2026 elections, underpins trader expectations of continuity. The tightly managed vote excluded meaningful opposition and framed results as endorsement of the Ukraine campaign, despite Ukrainian drone strikes on energy infrastructure that have produced fuel shortages and acknowledged strains. No scheduled presidential contest occurs before 2030 under current constitutional rules, while internal succession discussions remain speculative and lack public momentum. Ongoing repression, elite cohesion around the war effort, and absence of acute health or coup signals sustain the market’s assessment of low near-term removal risk, even as economic pressures and battlefield developments continue.
