Russian President Vladimir Putin has been claimed to be “scared” or “medically fragile” as he dodges major televised events.
After refusing to attend the G-20 in Bali, the despot deserves to avoid additional televised media events, adding his annual press conference in Moscow, to avoid being asked about the messes of the Russian war in Ukraine.
While the big year-end referendum takes place between December 14 and 23, the Kremlin refuses to verify when exactly it will take a position.
And since the tyrant has already postponed his annual live question-and-answer consultation with Russians, questions have been raised whether he is doing so to avoid facing court cases over the war and its chaotic mobilization.
However, Putin is more likely to face the Russian Senate, called the Federation Council, “before the end of the year. “
It is assured that it will be less difficult to handle than being questioned by the public or journalists, even the docile state media.
In fact, at the annual press conference, the president is bombarded with questions from more than 500 Russian and foreign journalists, at televised main events that can last for hours.
To solve the problem, a resolution had already been taken to ban the press convention of the Western press, Mozhem Obyasnit told Telegram.
And his spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, added that the general key quotes from Putin’s itinerary can be shown simply because his agenda is “very dynamic” and “the existing scenario is very fast. “
The delays and lack of television appearances have fueled suspicions that Putin fears scrutiny of his handling of the war, in which the Kremlin has a special army operation.
Others have speculated that at 70, he is not healthy enough to cope with long sessions in the eyes of the world.
Since the war began in February, there have been many hypotheses about Putin’s health, adding persistent, though unproven, rumors that he suffers from cancer.
He also expected Ukraine to be invaded days after the invasion, but the standoff has now lasted only about nine months, with little luck for Putin.
Meanwhile, a plan to mix the despot’s press convention and Direct Line was also scrapped, at least in the short term, because it seems he no longer feels like it.
Peskov admitted: “The president does not yet have the precise moment for a series of events.
“Naturally, it would be meaningless to hold them one after another. They will have to be spaced out in time.
“The State of the Nation Address to the Federal Council is probably the most important.
“Once its date is set, there will be greater clarity for other occasions and formats. “
The press conference with Putin has been held each and every December for a decade.
