The press secretary of Russian President, Dmitry Peskov, has dismissed rumors surrounding Vladimir Putin’s New Year’s address, stating that it was not rerecorded. Several Telegram channels had recently spread false information claiming that the Russian leader had made changes to his annual address. However, Peskov firmly stated that these reports are untrue.
Speaking to reporters, Peskov mentioned that it will only be confirmed on New Year’s Eve whether the president’s greeting was pre-recorded. He also emphasized that the main theme of Putin’s message will revolve around the upcoming New Year celebrations.
In a departure from previous years, Putin chose to congratulate Russians on the arrival of 2023 alongside servicemen. The address was recorded at the headquarters of the Southern Military District, further highlighting the president’s commitment to the armed forces.
While the content of Putin’s New Year’s address remains under wraps, it is expected to resonate with the Russian people as they bid farewell to the challenges of the past year and welcome the opportunities of the new one. As the clock ticks closer to midnight, anticipation builds for the message that will set the tone for the nation’s celebrations.
