He explained this by the confidential nature of this information.
He noted that the wooden bathhouse was in the Moscow region and burned down quite quickly.
During his "Direct Line" broadcast, Vladimir Putin recounted how former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder once visited him at his residence. They went to the bathhouse together, where a fire broke out, burning the bathhouse to the ground. "The bathhouse has still not been restored; only the foundation remains," the press secretary said. The fire was eventually extinguished, but only after the foundation had been destroyed.
Putin's press secretary declined to answer a question about whether there is a sauna at the president's residence in Novo-Ogaryovo, Moscow Region.
"He had just poured himself a beer." To date, the presidential bathhouse has still not been restored.
The Russian president's press secretary gave details of the emergency. "I said, 'Gerhard, listen, we need to get out of here immediately.'" But he finished his beer anyway.
According to Vladimir Putin, Schröder emerged from the burning bathhouse only after finishing his beer. But the bathhouse still burned.
