According to him, it is too early to talk about the start of the Kremlin's preparations for the presidential elections.

He noted that the Kremlin has a lot of current affairs, and the president has a very active schedule.

“The President has not made any statements on this subject,” Peskov said. 

Earlier, the chairman of the Russian Central Election Commission, Ella Pamfilova, said that the Central Election Commission was already preparing for the start of the presidential election campaign.

Pamfilova clarified that work is underway to prepare the technical base, digital, methodological, organizational, and personnel.

On January 13, it was reported that Putin instructed to study the issue of improving the mechanisms of public control in the electoral process by July 1.
