WHO ARE PUTIN'S DAUGHTERS?

Russia's President, Vladimir Putin, has always been guarded when it comes to questions over his family.

In 2015, during one of his marathon news conferences, he dodged questions about his daughter's identities.

"My daughters live in Russia and studied only in Russia, I am proud of them," he said. "They speak three foreign languages fluently. I never discuss my family with anyone."

"Every person has a right for their fate, they live their own life and do it with dignity," he added
