At the meeting, the leader of the United Russia faction in the State Duma Sergei Neverov addressed the president.

He noted that a decision has already been made in many regions.

"United Russia" proposes to make December 31 a day off throughout the country, "he said.

Putin supported this proposal.

“On the 31st, a very peculiar work is being organized, to put it mildly.

Therefore, of course, we should probably support this, ”the President said.

The President noted that it is not yet possible to declare December 31 a day off at the federal level.

“Therefore, I draw attention to the proposal of Sergei Ivanovich Neverov and recommend that in those regions where such a decision has not yet been made, do it,” Putin said.
