Vladimir Putin has decided to run for president again next year, Reuters reports, citing six sources. But the Kremlin has denied the report, saying Putin had not decided on his future and no announcement had been made.

"The president has not made any statements" about this, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday when asked about the report.
