![Critical Messages Beamed On Screen In Front Of Putin](https://cdn.magzter.com/1591272633/1702615245/articles/FPMHjobZ11702623163624/Vladimir-Putin.jpg)
Across the four hours of a marathon end-of-year press conference, Vladimir Putin offered a familiar mix of threats and jibes against Western nations as he tried to paint a rosy picture of Russian life. However, he was confronted by criticism from ordinary Russians when text messages were beamed in front of him in an apparent gaffe.
Having cancelled the usual annual event last year, this was the first held since the Russian president launched his war almost two years ago. Mr Putin said “There will only be peace in Ukraine when we achieve our aims” – essentially forcing Kyiv into submission. It is a threat that Russia has repeated while Ukraine’s forces have put up a stout defence of their territory.
With Mr Putin having recently announced he is running for the presidency again in March 2024, he had to be seen to be backing his war machine, although even he let slip that any Russian gains in Ukraine were “modest”; Kremlin-speak for the fact that there has been little movement on the frontlines in recent months.
The heavily stage-managed news conference was watched by millions across Russia. Ordinary citizens submitted questions alongside those from journalists, and Russian media said at least 2 million were sent in advance, with some being shown on a screen at the venue, even if they weren’t answered by Mr Putin. That led to some awkward messages for the president.
