The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Watch: Putin holds first press conference since start of Ukraine war | English translation at 9am” – below is their description.
Ukraine launched drones over Moscow this morning as Vladimir Putin prepared to address the nation in a combined press conference and public phone-in.
City mayor Sergei Sobyanin said anti-air defences downed two drones early on Thursday morning. He did not comment on casualties or damage.
Mr Putin is holding a three-hour end-of-year press conference in the Kremlin at 9am GMT (12pm local time) where journalists and members of the public will ask him questions.
The annual call-in marathon was cancelled last year but has returned ahead of presidential elections in March 2024.
It comes as Putin’s forces are on the front foot in the war in Ukraine and the Russian leader is buoyed by squabbling in the West over funding for Kyiv.
