The annual direct line with Russian President Vladimir Putin began accepting questions from the public on December 4 at 15:00 PM Moscow time. Over the course of three days, approximately 316 questions were received.

The majority of questions—over two-thirds, or 67 percent—were submitted by women, while men made up 33 percent. The highest participation was observed among citizens aged 36 to 55 and those over 55.

The direct line itself is scheduled for December 19 at 12:00 PM Moscow time. Since 2020, the event has been combined with a major press conference, and since 2023, it will be called "Year in Review with Vladimir Putin." This initial combination occurred due to restrictions imposed by the pandemic.
