(Adnkronos) – Vladimir Putin claims that the Russian economy is the first in Europe and the fourth in the world. This is how Vladimir Putin’s year-end press conference, combined with the question and answer session from ordinary Russians, kicked off in Moscow. Moderators are Pervyi Kanal’s military correspondent Dmitry Kulko and Vhtrk journalist Aleksandr Suvorova. The questions received by the organizers are more than 2.2 million. But the time that the televisions have reserved for live coverage is three hours.
Russia has therefore overtaken Japan. But we must not rest on our laurels, Putin added.
