💨 Abstract

Russian President Vladimir Putin held his annual year-end news conference, which included a nationwide call-in show. This event is significant as it will address the U.S.-backed peace plan for Ukraine. Putin, who has led Russia for 25 years, uses this platform to discuss domestic and global issues. The U.S. has been pushing for peace in Ukraine since Russia's 2022 troop deployment, but efforts have been hindered by conflicting demands from Moscow and Kyiv.
