PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY: President Vladimir Putin addressed Russian citizens with his traditional New Year's speech from Kremlin.

Residents of Kamchatka and Chukotka, where the New Year is already coming (the time difference with Moscow is plus 9 hours) were the first to see it.

Putin's New Year's address will be shown before midnight local time in all time zones.

The president's speech against the backdrop of the Kremlin is a traditional format for New Year's addresses. There were exceptions. Last year, the head of state spoke from the headquarters of the Southern Military District in Rostov-on-Don, surrounded by members of the Northern Military District. On December 31, 2013, Putin addressed Russians from Khabarovsk, where he met with flood victims (that night, residents of Kamchatka managed to see the congratulations recorded in advance in the Kremlin, and the Khabarovsk address of the head of state was already shown in all other time zones).
