Russian President Vladimir Putin (71) considers himself fully capable despite his old age. “I feel within me the strength and energy to work on fulfilling the tasks facing the country,” the head of state said on Wednesday, more than two months before the Russian presidential elections, during a visit to Anadyr, the capital of the Far East . According to the state news agency Tass, the Eastern Chukotka region is being targeted. The visit to the remote Chukchi Peninsula is one of his campaign appearances. State control of the vote on March 17 allows no other outcome than a victory for Putin, but he still wants to mobilize public support for his rule in advance.

In Anadyr, where winter is most of the year, Putin was shown tomato production in a greenhouse. He then spoke to citizens and also told private matters. He said he trained two hours a day. During his law studies he qualified as a carpenter and earned quite a bit of money building windows, the ex-secret agent reports. He also promised to address regional issues, such as the lack of obstetric care in Chukotka. He did not talk about the heat supply problems that are currently occurring in many regions in the middle of winter. Putin told the veterans of the war of aggression against Ukraine that he ordered that they be allowed to remain in the army after injury and work in the collection offices.
