The meeting said Russian President Vladimir Putin participants Eastern Economic Forum, which has not yet acquired a cell phone.
Discussion moderator Sergei Brilev, welcoming the president, said Putin “is not Angela Merkel” because he does not have a cell phone with him. This is how Brilov hinted at the case during talks between Putin and Merkel when the German chancellor's phone rang.
The moderator also asked if Putin had a cell phone at all.
“No,” Putin replied.
