Peskov asked not to get ahead of himself in clarifying the date of the direct line with Putin

The date of the direct line and the big press conference with the participation of Russian President Vladimir Putin will be announced in a timely manner; there is no point in getting ahead of ourselves with this issue. This was stated by the press secretary of the head of state Dmitry Peskov during a regular briefing.

“We’ll provide guidance in a timely manner. Don’t get ahead of yourself. We keep you informed about what is happening and give you dates in a timely manner. There is no need to compete to see who finds out what first,” Peskov explained to reporters.

November 9, press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov reportedthat this year the live line and press conference will be combined into one event. According to him, it will take place before the end of the year, the date has already been determined, but Peskov did not specify it.

November 10 media wrotethat a direct line and press conference are scheduled for December 14. According to information RBCthis date is considered as the main one.

The straight line was first drawn in 2001, and then it ran every year except 2004 and 2012. In 2020, the direct line and Putin’s traditional big press conference were combined for the first time. In 2021, the event took place in June. In 2022, there was neither a direct line nor a big press conference, which traditionally takes place in December.
