Iran Press/ Europe: Vladimir Putin, during a holiday in Siberia with Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu, piloted an all-terrain vehicle through thick woodland and traversed a swaying rope bridge, Kremlin footage showed.
Video footage released by the Kremlin showed the 68-year-old Russian president and Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu, 65, in brown winter jackets, hiking in snow-covered forests, watching wild animals when crossing a bridge.
The two men then visit a workshop in the snow forest.
"The president is walking with Defence Minister Sergey Shoigu in Siberia,” the Kremlin commented in a brief statement, publishing about ten photos of this trip, without specifying where it was taken.
Several photos show the president and the minister in brown winter uniforms with white fur and traditional Russian shoes, eating at an outdoor wooden table, and then the two men drive a 4x4 vehicle.
For years, the Russian president has been keen to present the image of a strong man, by constantly focusing on his physical fitness, and in recent years the Kremlin has published recordings of Putin in the Siberian forest, practicing fishing, piloting a powerboat, etc.
