Putin did not rule out the possibility of hosting the Olympic Games in Russia

"Russia does not exclude the possibility of filing applications for the Olympic Games, including in the Far East," TASS quotes Putin.

As a reminder, in 2014 Russia hosted the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi.

Earlier, the mayor of Vladivostok, Konstantin Shestakov, said that the city intends to apply to host the 2036 Summer Olympics.
