"We are already preparing for President Putin's annual press conference," said a Kremlin spokesman.

According to him, the date and format of the event will be announced in a timely manner.

“Of course, for obvious reasons, this will be an unusual format.

We are now working on and preparing it in such a way as to in no way limit the possibilities of communication between regional, federal and foreign journalists with the head of the Russian state.

We will tell you all this in a timely manner, ”added Peskov. 

Earlier, the Kremlin noted that a large press conference is planned to be held in December in person. 

On December 19, 2019, Putin's 15th big press conference took place.

It lasted 4 hours and 20 minutes.
