US to ignore Putin's so-called inauguration but still consider him Russian president.
The United States will not send a representative to the so-called inauguration of Russian ruler Vladimir Putin on 7 May.

Details: When asked whether the United States would send a representative of the embassy to Putin's so-called inauguration, given that the ambassador is currently outside Moscow, Miller replied: "No, we will not have a representative at his inauguration".
He did, however, reiterate Washington's previous position that it would continue to recognise Vladimir Putin as Russia's president.
"We certainly did not consider those elections (in Russia – ed.) as free and fair, but he is the president of Russia and he is gonna continue in that capacity," the State Department spokesman explained.
Background:
- Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated that it sees no reason to recognise Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin as the democratically elected and legitimate president of Russia.
- EU diplomat Josep Borrell is opposed to EU representatives attending the "inauguration" ceremony of the Kremlin ruler. A number of EU states have already announced that they will not attend the inauguration.
After the fraudulent "elections" in Russia, Putin lost his legitimacy as president of that country, so European Pravda no longer uses the term "president" to refer to this person. Here they justify and explain the importance of this change .
