FLY. Russian President Vladimir Putin will address parliamentarians of the Federal Assembly at a ceremony today at 12 noon (local time) at Gostiny Dvor in Moscow. The last time Putin delivered the president’s address on the state of the federation was in April 2021, Tass recalls. The cornerstones of the speech were not anticipated, he writes again, but reports on Peskov’s words, according to which special emphasis is placed on the “current situation”, on issues related to the “special action”, on the economy, on social issues .
“Our whole life revolves around the question of special operations. So of course it would be reasonable to expect the President to pay close attention to that,” he said.

The format of the event does not provide for the presence of foreign guests and is aimed at the national audience. Among the thousand invitees were legislators and senators, members of the government, senior officials in the presidential administration, heads of the attorney general’s office, members of constitutional and supreme courts, heads of regions, religious leaders. This year, participants in the “special military operation” can also be read. As for the media, the Kremlin has decided to invite “only Russian journalists and journalists from friendly countries.”
