"Please listen, I think what you are saying is a little funny. Let's calculate, will I sit here until I am 100? No," - Mr. Putin told journalists at the headquarters of the election staff in response to the question of whether he has a chance to return to the presidency for another term in 2030.
By the spring of 2030, Mr. Putin will be 77 years old.
