Instead of deflecting, why don't you find the Q&A, plenty of them still can be found (with E- translation), just enter the name I mentioned.  Then you could comment to that and told us what's the job of the press.  Comparisons are welcome...

Deflecting when replying directly to your post, ok, I guess that comment was too taxing for you.

 

Next time you'd prefer a comment to something specific then supply a link to it as an example.

There are never any provocative questions. Everybody is carefully selected and all questions are vetted beforehand, so as not to inconvenience Putin. It’s all for show.

"Carefully selected questions vetted beforehand"? That you might have seen somewhere else. But surely not from a famous longtime BBC journo in Moscow. 

 

And publicised by BBC footage (a bit redacted, few more full versions can be found).

Interesting the first shot and the last one, where Putin apologize to the journalist.

I see nothing but a very polite exchange between both the BBC journo and Putin after he was asked a question in a very polite manner. Nothing like your claim which was:

 

"Some of them are sometimes very provocative and not always very polite (unlike the answers)"

It's surely a tiring job answering for more than 4 hours the questions from any side and parties - and not only once a year - and not the ones (the questions) issued in advance.

 

Some of them are sometimes very provocative and not always very polite (unlike the answers), as e.g. still can be found the questions by Steve Rosenberg of BBC Moscow (the one of the few posts back above).  

 

Perhaps he (Putin) has been thinking over his communication style,  following the style of other world leader(s), something like 5 min. briefings to the agreed questions...   

you damn right, repeating the same BS over and over without any supporting evidence of any gain of any sort while some time ago he wanted  "denazify" Ukraine in 3-4 days and not so long ago trying the annexation of some Ukraine territory, all to NO sucess.... what could a loser, as he is,  say at any event

What Did Putin Mean by 'Denazification' of Ukraine and Why is It so Important?

Generators are as important as armour in helping Ukraine survive Vladimir Putin’s energy terror this winter, Volodymyr Zelenskiy has told an emergency conference in Paris convened to coordinate infrastructure and humanitarian aid to the country over the next four months.

The Ukrainian president said the country needed an additional €800m to survive the winter and €1.5bn to restore the long-term damage to the energy grid.

Poll: 85% of Ukrainians believe victory in war with Russia requires liberating all territories, including Crimea and Donbas.

According to a recent poll conducted by the Rating Group, 9% of Ukrainians said they would consider a victory in liberating territories controlled by Ukraine before Russia's full-scale invasion started on Feb. 24.

a bit of research about the crimes mentioned in the pro-Ruzzia spun Sputnik piece will shine a very different light on many of these stories.

the rest are episodes of an independence war that could be compared with a ten times longer list of crimes and more serious crimes against the state committed by the Ruzzians.

Putin’s Neighbor Sends Troops Toward Ukraine Border in Menacing ‘Drill’

Russian ally Belarus announced snap military drills Tuesday in a move that has raised concerns that Minsk could be planning to join the war on Ukraine.

The Belarusian mission, designed to check the military’s combat readiness, is based on an analysis of Russia’s experience waging war in Ukraine, according to Belta.

The large-scale drills are unusual because they are “unexpected” for the military, said Aleksandr Volfovich, State Secretary of the Security Council of Belarus, according to Belta.

A deserter from the notorious 64th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade - the one responsible for the Bucha massacre, under the command of Azatbek Omurbekov, better known as the Butcher of Bucha, speaks to CNN.  Hopefully people like this will testify in the war crimes tribunals when this is finally over.

After months of delays, the EU and NATO are expected to soon formally issue a joint call for Russia to stop its war and leave Ukraine, and to pledge full support to Kyiv.

I agree with this. If it was good enough to boycott the Springboks rugby team over apartheid and good enough for the US to boycott the Moscow olympics over it's invasion of Afghanistan then this is a no brainer.

 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he is opposed to the International Olympic Committee president’s goal to include Russian and Belarusian athletes in the 2024 Olympics as independent competitors.

 

During a call on Wednesday with the group’s president, Thomas Bach, Zelensky called for “complete isolation” of Russia on the international stage, including international sports events.

Russia launches 'massive missile attack' on Ukraine

Air raid sirens have been sounded across the country warning of a fresh devastating barrage of Russian strikes on critical energy facilities and infrastructure.

Russia has launched a "massive missile attack" on Ukraine, officials said, knocking out power and forcing people to take cover in shelters across the country amid reports of fatalities.

Authorities on social media reported explosions in the capital Kyiv, southern Kryvyi Rih and northeastern Kharkiv on Friday as air raid sirens were sounded across the country warning of a fresh devastating barrage of Russian strikes on critical energy facilities and infrastructure.

Russia launches another major missile attack on Ukraine

Ukrainian authorities reported explosions in at least three cities Friday, saying Russia has launched a major missile attack on energy facilities and infrastructure.

Local authorities on social media reported explosions in the capital, Kyiv, southern Kryvyi Rih and northeastern Kharkiv as air raid alarms sounded across the country, warning of a new barrage of the Russian strikes that have occurred intermittently since mid-October.

Ukraine war: Deadly attack leaves retaken Kherson with no power

Two people have been killed, say Ukrainian officials, in a second day of Russian attacks on central Kherson, recaptured by Ukraine last month.

Heavy shelling on critical infrastructure in the port area left the entire city without power, according to the regional governor.

The retreat of Russian forces from Kherson was one of Moscow's biggest setbacks since the February invasion.

Russia invade/declared war in Ukraine without any plausible reason.... Russia getting weapons from NKorea and from Iran, that's ok for them to do as they please, but the US providing Patriot defense system to Ukraine is not ok because Russians don't like it.... who the heck are these people to tell another country what can do and can not do

Russia: US air defense systems could be targets in Ukraine

Asked about the Russian warning, Pentagon spokesman Air Force Gen. Pat Ryder responded that the U.S. was "not going to allow comments from Russia to dictate the security assistance that we provide to Ukraine.”

“I find it ironic and very telling that officials from a country that brutally attacked its neighbor — in an illegal and unprovoked invasion, through a campaign that is deliberately targeting and killing innocent civilians and destroying civilian infrastructure — that they would choose to use words like ‘provocative’ to describe defensive systems that are meant to save lives and protect civilians,” Ryder said.
