Well you can always serve a term as prime minister, then be president again. Just make a small tweak of the office of Prime Minister to being the most powerful position, then when you are ready to be president again, change the most powerful position back to the office of presidency. No violation of consitution, just convienient changes on which office has the actual power.
By the way, this was corrected in the amendments to the constitution 6 years ago. Just when Putin went for a new term “because the constitution was changed, which means it’s like zeroing out the terms”. If you interesting.
