Speaking at a meeting with the heads of municipalities of the constituent entities of Russia, Putin said that during the direct line, one of the messages attracted his attention. However, he did not have time to react to it, as other questions followed.

"And it was like this – a small one, but at the end it was written: 'They will not vote for you.' First of all, feedback is always very important. Secondly, we have much more unresolved problems than solved ones," Putin said.

Earlier, the candidate for the presidency of Russia from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Nikolai Kharitonov, said that he was not going to "carry a gag" and criticize Putin.
