Putin to Hold Annual Press Conference and Phone-In

RUSSIA
  • President Vladimir Putin will hold a combined press conference and direct-line phone-in at 0900GMT/1200 local time today. It will be the first since the invasion of Ukraine. Kremlin spox Peskov has previously stated that “A big press conference and a direct line with Putin will have no time limits, it is always a long event.” He added that Putin will use the event to “sum up the results of the year.”
