Russian President Vladimir Putin usually works with documents, reads and skims news digests while onboard a plane, Putin’s press secretary told the Moscow. Kremlin. Putin program on the Rossiya-1 television channel on Sunday.

"He works with documents because presidential decrees and instructions that are issued daily by the presidential press service must be signed by the president first. So, he uses time during flights to work with documents. Sometimes he watches TV digests compiled for him or reads media digests," Peskov said.

When asked whether the president has time to read fiction, the press secretary said, "As far as I know, yes." "But, naturally, he doesn’t have much time for that," he added.
