MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday said he was postponing a nationwide vote on constitutional changes that would allow him to extend his rule due to the worsening situation with coronavirus.
The vote, on changes that include scrapping a constitutional ban on Putin running again for president in 2024, had been planned for April 22.
Putin did not name a new date for the vote, saying only that he and others would evaluate the situation to decide when the time for a new vote was right.

Pompeo: Iranian Officials Stole More than $1 Billion in Coronavirus Assistance
By JNS News Service - 1 Nisan 5780 – March 25, 20200
On Monday, Pompeo released a new list of five allegations of how the regime has handled the outbreak.
“In February, Iran’s chief terror airline, Mahan Air, ran at least 55 flights between Tehran and China, further infecting the Iranian people,” said Pompeo. “At least five foreign countries’ first cases of coronavirus were directly imported from Iran, putting millions more lives at risk.”
Mahan Air, which is sanctioned by the United States and Germany, has operated flights between Iran and China, despite both countries being two of the most infected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, according to a Voice of America report on Thursday.
“The Iranian regime ignored repeated warnings from its own health officials, and denied its first death from the coronavirus for at least nine days,” said Pompeo. “The regime continues to lie to the Iranian people and the world about the number of cases and deaths, which are unfortunately far higher than the regime admits.”
Pompeo also alleged that “as Iranian regime officials ask for more funds, it is important to note that since 2012, Iran has spent over $16 billion on terror abroad, and used sanctions relief from the JCPOA to fill up its proxies’ coffers. Regime officials stole over a billion euros intended for medical supplies, and continue to hoard desperately needed masks, gloves and other medical equipment for sale on the black market.”
