“The presidential election is still far away. We are at the initial stage of the presidential cycle. Therefore, now nobody thinks about it, now everyone is engaged in hard work, which you are witnesses of, ”RIA Novosti quoted the Kremlin representative as saying.
As specified, in this way he answered the question of how many possible Putin successors are at the moment.
He was also asked whether the president is considering a certain age limit for himself in order to cease his activities.
“The work of the president is regulated by the constitution ... His vision is to follow the constitution. You know perfectly well the relevant articles of the fundamental law, ”concluded Peskov.
Putin previously called it premature to question whether he plans to stay in politics after 2024.
In the summer, the president noted that he was thinking of a possible successor as head of state since 2000.
