US EditionPutin Says Russian Troops Advancing Across Ukraine Front Line at Annual Press Conference
Putin declared full strategic initiative in Ukraine and reiterated Russia's willingness for peace under Kremlin conditions, citing millions of public messages during the broadcast.
- At his annual call-in news conference Friday, President Vladimir Putin said Moscow does not believe Ukraine is ready for peace talks and stated Russia is `ready and willing` to end the conflict peacefully.
- The broadcast began shortly after noon and was folded into the televised Direct Line call-in show, moderated this year by Pavel Rubin, state television journalist, and Yekaterina Berezovskaya, Channel One presenter.
- State media said messages were submitted from across Russia and beyond, and the call-in segment is designed to showcase the president as personally engaged with ordinary Russians.
- Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as `undesirable`, criminalising its work and putting staff at risk, while journalists say this aims to silence independent journalism.
- The broadcast's scale positions it as a tool to shape domestic opinion by showcasing presidential engagement, and combined with restrictions on independent outlets, it raises legal and political implications for press freedom in Russia.
