March 13 (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin said in remarks published on Wednesday that it is not the right time to talk about the reshuffle of the Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin's government.

"We need to talk about this after the elections, after the votes are counted," Putin told Russia's RIA state news agency and Rossiya-1 state television in a wide-ranging interview.

"It seems to me that it is not right time now to talk about it. But in general, the government is working ... is working quite satisfactorily."

Putin, who launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine two years ago, is nearly certain to win the March 15 to 17 presidential election.
