Peskov commented on reports of Putin's successor

The Kremlin will not check the message that Senator Franz Klintsevich allegedly announced the nomination of the State Duma speaker Vyacheslav Volodin as a successor to Vladimir Putin in the presidential election. This was stated by the press secretary of the head of state Dmitry Peskov, RIA Novosti reports.

The day before, the representative of the All -Russian Organization of War Disabled in Afghanistan at a meeting with Putin complained of claims to the organization by Senator Klintsevich. According to the representative of the veteran organization, in his letter Klintsevich allegedly stated that Volodin would be the next president of Russia.

In response, Putin noted that "only the Russian people can choose the successor."

“Of course,” Peskov noted today, “there is no subject for verification. Moreover, the president reacted quite clearly to this plot. Here, there can hardly be some kind of field for discussions and for crooked pins. ”
