What happened?/ Putin breaks the 10-year tradition, he will not hold an annual

Russian President Vladimir Putin will not hold his annual year-end press conference this year, which has been dominated by Moscow's offensive in Ukraine, the Kremlin said on Monday.

"There will be no (press conference) before the New Year," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

He added that Putin "regularly speaks to the press, including during foreign visits."

Peskov did not give any reason for the break with tradition.

Putin, who has been in power since 2000, has held a press conference in December for most years of his rule.

During the media gathering -- a major political event in the country -- Putin takes questions from the press and the public in a marathon that usually lasts several hours.

Last year, he spoke for more than four hours.

Putin sent troops to Ukraine on February 24 and announced a mobilization to support Moscow's forces there on September 21. /CNA.al
