Social issues are expected to lead the list of questions submitted by the public
Russian President Vladimir Putin is holding his traditional end-of-year press conference in Moscow.
This year again combines the event with the ‘Direct Line’, during which Putin responds to questions from citizens and the press on a broad range of domestic and international issues.
Western journalists are also taking part in the event.
The collection of queries from the Russian public began on December 4 and had reportedly exceeded 1.2 million as of Sunday. Last year, Putin fielded questions from a total of more than 2 million submitted for four and a half hours.
The main topics are expected to be “social issues” and questions related to Russian frontline soldiers and their families, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Izvestia in an interview on Thursday.
