Putin interrupted a meeting of the Council on National Projects for the sake of a participant in the “Wish Tree”

Russian President Vladimir Putin interrupted a meeting of the Council for Strategic and National Projects to talk with 13-year-old Ksenia Mazneva from St. Petersburg. On December 4, she participated in the “Wish Tree” charity event.

During the meeting, which takes place via video conference, Mr. Putin recalled the need to accompany the wards who participated in the “Wish Tree”. “Ksenia Mazneva from St. Petersburg dreamed of trying herself as a news anchor. I need to step away for a few minutes and find out how things are going,” the president said.

After the “Christmas Tree of Wishes,” Ksenia Mazneva, together with journalist Ekaterina Andreeva, recorded a summary of the story of the “Time” program in the virtual studio of Channel One. Vladimir Putin, during a conversation with the girl, asked about her impressions. Returning to the meeting, the president conveyed greetings from Ksenia to members of the government. “She will be a journalist and will cover your work in the future. She promised to do this objectively,” added Mr. Putin.

During the “Wish Tree” event on December 4, Vladimir Putin pulled out three cards with children’s wishes. In addition to the message from Ksenia Mazneva, the president pulled out postcards from two boys. One of them dreamed of going to Lake Baikal, and the other dreamed of visiting the Hermitage.
