Russian President Vladimir Putin

This year, people are paying more attention to the direct dialogue with the head of state than in previous years. In just the first 6 hours after the start of receiving questions, the number of questions sent to the hotline was 8 times higher than the same period last year. The issues raised show that most people are concerned about ensuring social security and housing, and are concerned about increasingly strict conditions for national interests. Many questions are also related to corruption and the government's stance on the fight against corruption...

The most concerned issues directly related to social security are food prices, the ruble exchange rate; the impact of economic sanctions on the Russian economy. The question often asked is: "When the economic crisis occurred, the ruble lost value, prices in stores immediately increased, but now, when the ruble has increased again, prices in stores remain the same, why? Who monitors this issue? Will there be any action on this issue?" In addition, Russian people also asked the President to influence decisions to extend the support program for nursing mothers.

Political issues are also of great interest, with the most questions related to the situation in Ukraine: People are concerned about the possibility of recognizing the independence of the Southeastern region of Ukraine... People are also concerned about humanitarian and military issues, and many other issues such as how Russia gives Ukraine preferential treatment in terms of gas, and how the money in the Ukrainian budget is used for the anti-terrorist campaign...

This year’s direct dialogue with the people is Mr. Putin’s 13th in the highest positions of the country as President and Prime Minister. This dialogue will be broadcast live on major television channels such as “Channel 1”; “Rossia 1”, “Rossia 24”, radio channels such as Lighthouse, “FM News” and “Radio Russia”. In addition, programs on Internet and social television sites will also broadcast this activity./.
