The Russian leader proposed a national v**e on constitutional changes that would push power toward the prime minister and the parliament, and away from the presidency. It’s seen as potentially limiting the power of Putin’s successor if he steps down in 2024.

So, is Putin the president or the prime minister? I thought he was the president.
