MOSCOW, May 7. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin, who during the inauguration ceremony on Monday took a brief ride on a newly-made limousine of domestic manufacture, will use it on the permanent basis, presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov told TASS.

"He will use it permanently," Peskov said when asked if Putin would stop using the Mercedes limousine to opt for the car made for him under the Cortege project for a whole family of domestically manufactured VIP vehicles.
