Vladimir Putin is set to miss his annual New Year’s press conference
Speculation is rife following the break in traditional protocol, which usually sees Russia’s leader undertake a marathon press conference followed by a reception held inside the Kremlin.

The news comes amid mounting pressure from within his own country, as support for the war in Ukraine and his leadership continues to dwindle.
