Live: Russian president Vladmir Putin holds annual news conference

Russian president Vladimir Putin is holding his annual news conference where he usually answers questions for hours.

Putin recently reiterated his demand for guarantees from the US and its allies that NATO will not expand eastwards, blaming the West for “tensions that are building up in Europe".

He claimed Tuesday that if US and NATO missile systems appear in Ukraine, it will take those missiles only minutes to reach Moscow.

If NATO is all around him, he has good reason to be nervous.

I was always a Fan of President Putin but now he has won my heart and all Muslims hearts by explaining difference between freedom of speech and blasphemy... He also said when a president gives his best he or she don't need an election campaign...Bravo... Love from Pakistan🇵🇰❤🇷🇺

Can you imagine Joe Dementia attempting to hold a 4-hour Q&A? Mr. Magoo can't even answer one question coherently. God bless Putin, the greatest leader in the world!

Putin supported pakistan and muslims narrative. Insulting someone's relgion and prophet Mohammad pbuh is not freedom of speech. Putin, you have won 2 billion plus muslims hearts. Islam also does not allow mocking of any religion.

A very informative press conference and the topics were diverse from Issues related to Russia to issues related to the world. I could get a good insight into various complex matters of the world from politics to economics to social issues. I could also get an insight on how the governance of a country takes place and how the country is placed in the world. The interview was very analytical. President Putin puts even the most complex matters in a very simple way.
