"Big risks": Putin can cancel a "straight line" in the absence of victories - isw

According to analysts, the Presidential Presidential Presidential did not deliberately call the exact date when a press conference can take place. This allows the Kremlin to cancel the event at any time. The Russian President intends to hold a "straight line" in December, in which he plans to answer questions from journalists and citizens. At the same time, he needs victories on the battlefield. This is stated in the report of the American Institute of War Study (ISW) of November 9.

The Kremlin Prescribe Dmitry Peskov made a statement that the Presidential Line President forum and the annual press conference will not be separated and will be held simultaneously. At the same time, analysts believe that the exact date is not specifically reported, because the Kremlin always has the opportunity to cancel measures. This is in case the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation fails to get significant success at the front.

For example, last year the press conference was canceled due to the information risks and unwillingness of Vladimir Putin to answer difficult questions about the war. "The vagueness with which Peskov has announced two activities on a live broadcast indicates that the Kremlin may want to be flexible to cancel them if they mean too much information risks," analysts said. If the Russian occupiers still succeed in obtaining minor successes, then it will be designed as "prompt victory", analysts say.
