Russian President Vladimir Putin on June 15 during a meeting with Russians in a straight line format commented on information about his possible successor.
Asked whom he plans to leave behind, Putin replied: "Firstly, I am still working, secondly, the voter, the Russian people should decide this".
The Russian president said that when he identifies with the successor, he "does not see anything shameful" in supporting a specific candidate.
