Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday he considers leading Russia a "sacred duty" as he was inaugurated for a fifth Kremlin term, prolonging his more than two-decade rule.

"Serving Russia is a huge honour, responsibility and sacred duty," the 71-year-old said in the Kremlin's gilded Saint Andrew's Hall.
