Russian President Vladimir Putin is holding his customary year-end news conference. Only 507 reporters were invited this year since restrictive measures to stop the spread of COVID-19 are in effect.

In 2020, Putin's press conference ran for roughly four-and-a-half hours, with the Russian head of state having fielded 60 questions.
