President Vladimir Putin will hold his annual end-of-year press conference on Dec. 14, the Kremlin announced on Tuesday.

The announcement follows reports last week that Putin could hold the marathon meeting with journalists before his annual address to both chambers of parliament. 

The address to the Federal Assembly will be reportedly postponed until February 2018, a month before presidential elections that Putin is expected to take part in and win.
