MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 10th March, 2020) Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday he saw no need to hold early elections to the Russian lower house, the State Duma, commenting on a proposal by lawmaker Alexander Karelin.
"Of course, this will be your decision in the long run.
