Vladimir Putin's annual press conference will take place on December 17

Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold an annual press conference on December 17. This was announced today by the Kremlin press service.

“Due to the challenging epidemiological situation, the news conference will be held in the videoconference format this time, which the President will join from his Novo-Ogaryovo residence”, the message says.

It is noted that representatives of federal and foreign media will work in the World Trade Center hall.

Journalists from regional media will be able to participate in the event without leaving their Federal District: special platforms will be organized in each district to communicate with Moscow. For the Volga Federal District, this will be Nizhny Novgorod. The number of participants at each site will be limited, taking into account the requirements of Rospotrebnadzor.

The accreditation of journalists will begin on November 29.
