Kremlin Confirms Putin to Address Russians Ahead of Parliamentary Elections
TASS reports the Kremlin has confirmed President Vladimir Putin will deliver a televised address to the nation, as part of a broader news bulletin that also referenced a statement from the US Justice Department.
The Kremlin has confirmed that President Vladimir Putin will deliver a televised address to the Russian people this evening, according to a report by the Russian state news agency TASS.
TASS reported that the address comes ahead of upcoming parliamentary elections in Russia, though the agency's brief did not specify the content or exact timing of the speech beyond noting it would air the same evening.
The same TASS news bulletin, titled "IN BRIEF: Kremlin comments on Putin's address to Russians, US Justice Department statement," also referenced a statement from the United States Justice Department. However, the available excerpt from TASS did not include further details regarding the nature or content of that statement.
TASS is a state-owned Russian news agency. Further details on both the content of Putin's address and the referenced US Justice Department statement were not immediately available in the source material.
