According to him, the set of topics changes from year to year and it is difficult to establish any trend.

"This year, of course, the head of everything is covid in all its guises: covid as a disease, covid as a problem of vaccination," RIA Novosti quotes Peskov.

He noted that this is a huge block of questions.

As a Kremlin spokesman said, Russians are much less concerned about international affairs than in previous years, but "there are still questions about Russian-American relations."

Earlier it was reported that Putin held a meeting to prepare for the event.

The direct line will start on June 30 at 12:00 Moscow time.
