President Vladimir Putin is expected to make important statements to the press today. This is reported by the telegram channel "Pool No. 3" with reference to the press secretary of the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov.
"I will tell you that we expect the president to talk to media representatives today," Peskov said.
The three—day truce announced by Vladimir Putin should expire in an hour - and this is also one of the topics of the upcoming statements, TK notes.
Putin's talks with the President of Abkhazia, Badra Gunba, have now begun in the Kremlin.
"After the meetings in the Kremlin, Putin is expected to answer a number of questions regarding possible options for a truce, the situation on the Ukraine and the demands put forward by the "coalition of the willing," the journalists of the Kremlin pool report. Earlier, they said that this would blow up prime time in the United States," the telegram channel Military Correspondents of the Russian Spring writes meanwhile.
However, Dmitry Peskov has already denied rumors that Vladimir Putin's speech will "blow up" American prime time. This was reported by journalist Alexander Yunashev in his telegram channel.
"The Internet always wants to blow something up. We are not going to blow up anything," Peskov commented on the rumors at the request of Yunashev.
Meanwhile, Kommersant's special correspondent Andrei Kolesnikov said that the Russian leader would speak after midnight. According to him, chairs have already been put up in the Malachite living room of the Kremlin.
"Vladimir Putin will meet not only with Russian journalists, but also with correspondents of Western television companies: CNN, NBC and BBC. Everyone is sure that the conversation will be about Ukraine," Kolesnikov writes in his telegram channel.
He believes that Putin will undoubtedly want to sum up the results of the four-day meetings and celebrations in honor of Victory Day, journalists are primarily concerned about the truce.
Now (shortly before midnight) Putin is holding a meeting with the President of South Ossetia Alan Gagloev.
