“As the situation with the pandemic improves we, of course, are returning to normal life, including the need to think about further work on amendments to the constitution,” Putin said. Moscow eased its nine-week lockdown today, with residents allowed to exercise, stroll and shop, though many remained largely confined to their homes.

Lyubov Sobol, a Moscow opposition leader and ally of chief Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, denounced the plan to hold the constitutional vote in July.
