Putin Speaks With Top International Media Representatives at SPIEF – Full Video

Following the opening day of the 27th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), Russian President Vladimir Putin held a round-table discussion with the heads of international news agencies, where the leader touched upon an array of pressing global and domestic issues.

During the informal press encounter on the sidelines of SPIEF 24, global media representatives, including Reuters, Associated Press, Xinhua, Kyodo, IRNA, DPA and AFP, were given the floor to ask the president any question.

The conversation lasted for over three hours, during which Putin made a number of important statements on the Ukraine conflict, international arms supplies, the upcoming US presidential election, Russia’s relations with other nations, domestic economic growth, and the Palestine-Israel conflict.

I will add the written transcript once the Kremlin website is available. At the moment it does not open for me.
