No information war between Russia and Belarus - Putin.

FOROS, Ukraine, July 25 (Itar-Tass) - Russian President Vladimir Putin
believes that there's no information war between Russia and Belarus.
"I don't see any information war," Putin told Russian journalists
after talks with Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich held in Foros, the
Crimea, on July 24.
"I read few periodicals and I don't read much of the electronic press
on a daily basis. But I don't see any signs of war or any kind of military
hostilities. So it's not accidental that I am wondering about casualties,"
Putin said with a smile.
"The press often reacts sharply to certain things related to me, the
incumbent president of Russia and other political leaders. We often see
very sharp articles. But does it mean war?" the Russian prime minister
asked.
"Unfortunately, our colleagues often think, whenever they see this
kind of articles, that they have been prompted by something. But this is
not so," Putin said.
He believes that the best way to react to this kind of materials, if
someone considers them to be unfair, is to respond to them also in the
information space. These people can present their arguments to the authors
of the articles, which they regard to be unfair. I don't even understand
what we are talking about," Putin emphasized.

. Putin to spend his summer vacation in Russia.

FOROS, Ukraine, July 25 (Itar-Tass) - Russian Prime Minister Vladimir
Putin will traditionally spend his summer vacation in Russia. He may be
joined by President Dmitry Medvedev.
"I spend my vacation in Russia. There are some regions in the Russian
Federation that I like. There are some to which I haven't been," Putin
told Russian journalists.
"Dmitry Anatolyevich (Medvedev) and I, we've agreed to spend several
days of our vacation together. We are now choosing a region to go," Putin
added.
The Russian prime minister who is visiting the Crimea has his own
methods of fighting the summer heat. Putin believes that drinking tea is
the best way to survive the abnormally high temperatures.
Putin suggests drinking hot tea because it stimulates body
perspiration and helps withstanding peak summer temperatures.
Just like the Moscow region, the Crimea is suffering from a heat wave.
