Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the session would begin at 10 a.m. local time (0800 GMT). The program is expected to last about three hours, but Peskov said there was no time limit.
Unlike Putin's previous year-end press conferences, there was no official accreditation procedure this time, and the Kremlin issued invitations only to selected journalists. The press conference will be followed by a carefully choreographed call-in television show for ordinary Russians called 'Direct Line with Vladimir Putin.'
