“In our country, as soon as the election campaign is announced, everyone immediately stops working. I know this first hand. They immediately begin to think about what will happen after the elections. Need to work now. At the time provided by law, those who want to take part in the presidential elections, I am sure, will say so,” Putin said at a press conference in China.
He was also surprised to learn from journalists that Ksenia Sobchak may run for president, reports the correspondent of PolitNavigator.
“It is not up to me to determine who is better for the Russian people as head of state. Every person, within the framework of the law, can nominate himself as a candidate. Ksenia Sobchak is no exception. I have great respect for her father, but in this case it will not play a significant role. Everything will depend on her program and how she builds the campaign,” Putin said.
