MOSCOW, May 26 /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin is aware of the situation around the Dynasty non-profit foundation, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday.

Putin raised the subject during his meeting with business representatives earlier on Tuesday but it should not be regarded as any formal instruction, Peskov explained.

"I would not say that Putin knows all the details. I would not say that it’s the main item on his agenda," the Kremlin spokesman said.

"The problem of the Dynasty non-profit foundation was raised at Putin’s meeting with Mr. Titov, the Russian ombudsman for the rights of entrepreneurs, and his partners today. The president said he did not know why that foundation had been included in the list of foreign agents," the Kremlin press secretary explained.

"The president said it was necessary to have a look at the problem," Peskov said.
