"This practically never happens, so he never officially takes leave. Moreover, the responsibilities of the head of state do not provide for the possibility of taking a vacation," Peskov said when asked whether the president plans to take time off in August.
When pressed on whether Putin would have a few free days, Peskov noted that "a couple of days off sometimes occur."
"But even then, full-fledged days off are simply physically impossible," the presidential spokesman added.
