Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov answered a question from journalists about how often Vladimir Putin drives a car. According to a Kremlin spokesman, the Russian leader has been driving a car all his life.

As the press secretary noted, Putin often gets behind the wheel when he is at his residence in Novo-Ogaryovo or in Sochi.

According to Peskov, the Russian president drives a small electric car.

Earlier, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation told reporters why Vladimir Putin drove across the Crimean bridge in a Mercedes, and not in the domestic presidential Aurus. According to a Kremlin spokesman, just such a car was on the spot, and Putin drove it, “so as not to drive extra people.”

On December 5, it was reported that traffic was resumed on the Crimean bridge along the automobile part restored after the explosion. Later that day, Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the Crimean Bridge and drove across it in a car with Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
