Vladimir Putin makes little mention of Ukraine in new year speech

[Still Waters]

Russian President Vladimir Putin has called for united support of his army in his annual new year address, without explicitly referring to the war he is waging in Ukraine.

The Kremlin leader hailed his soldiers as "heroes... at the forefront of the fight for truth".

He also referenced economic issues, a key topic for many Russians, and declared 2024 the "year of the family".

The address was a more subdued affair than the previous year's.

Hi Still Waters

He doesn't want his voters knowing how bad they are doing in the Ukraine especially as elections are not that far off.
