Putin Comments on Palace Ownership Claims

Russian President Vladimir Putin has commented for the first time on the investigation regarding alleged ownership of a palace in Gelendzhik. The president specifically stated that nothing mentioned in the investigation belongs to him or his friends.

Putin noted that he has not watched the film due to a lack of time but has reviewed materials brought to him by his aides. He asserted that discussions about the palace are merely a way to "wash people's brains."
