Russian President Vladimir Putin has not ruled out that he will run for a new presidential term if such a constitutional amendment is adopted, he said in an interview for a film "Russia. Kremlin. Putin" on Rossiya-1 television, TASS reports.
"I have not made any decision so far. I’m not ruling out that I will stand for [election] if this emerges in the Constitution. We’ll see," Putin said.
Meanwhile, the Russian leader cautioned officials against searching for a successor to him now, saying that they should rather focus on their work. "They need to work rather than search for successors," Putin said.
