Vladimir Putin’s huge armoured motorcade has been seen heading to the Kremlin as the Russian president prepares to give a major address to the nation three days before the anniversary of the Ukraine invasion. Footage posted on social media shows the vehicle heading to Moscow in the early hours of this morning, with Putin expected to deliver a speech to Russia’s federal assembly.
He will also update Russia’s elite and give a speech to members of both houses of Russia’s parliament, as well as to military commanders and soldiers.
Putin will provide his analysis of the international situation and could outline further plans for Russia as the West continues to impose crippling sanctions.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told state television: “At such a crucial and very complicated juncture in our development, our lives, everyone is waiting for a message in the hope of hearing an assessment of what is happening, an assessment of the special military operation.”
