The number of inquiries for the direct line with Russian President Vladimir Putin has exceeded 2.2 million. This was reported by the moderators.
On December 8, the website moskva-putinu.ru began accepting questions for the direct line with the Russian leader. Peskov noted that it is impossible to address all requests from Russians, but they will not go unnoticed.
In particular, the day before, a married couple from Italy called the president's direct line call center and asked for assistance in obtaining Russian passports.
On December 19, Putin will summarize the year in a combined format of a press conference and a direct line. The event will be moderated by war correspondent Dmitry Kulko from Channel One and host Aleksandra Suvorova from the "Russia 24" channel. As reported by TASS, journalists began gathering at Gostiny Dvor in Moscow early in the morning ahead of the event, despite the 15-degree frost.
"Gazeta.Ru" is providing an online broadcast.
Previously, complaints about a shortage of saline solution in Russian pharmacies were received during the direct line with Putin.
