Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the Russian leader, announced the reason why Putin refused to participate in the next presidential debate.
SIA reports that on February 13, the Central Election Commission of Russia notified the country’s leader of his official refusal.
RosSMI emphasizes that Putin is running for the presidency for the fifth time and has never participated in pre-election debates during his political career.
His press secretary Dmitry Peskov had to explain the motives of the politician.
Peskov said that the head of the Kremlin is already very involved in the lives of Russians. He also mentioned that Putin differs from other candidates with his busy schedule in the elections.
…Russians have the opportunity to see Putin’s statements on all aspects of Russian life virtually every day. Putin is the current head of state living under a very busy presidential schedule. This makes it fundamentally different from other candidates.
Peskov said this.
It should be noted that the presidential elections in Russia are planned to be held on March 15-17 this year.
