MOSCOW, December 18. /TASS/. Some journalists from unfriendly countries have been accredited for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s annual press conference and Q&A session, but not too many, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

"There are some but not too many," he said in a comment for the Izvestia daily. "First, they are the nationals of unfriendly countries who work here and are accredited here; they have valid accreditation from the Foreign Ministry," the presidential spokesman added.

Besides, in Peskov’s words, there will be some foreign journalists who "expressed a wish to come specifically for the press conference." Basically, the number of foreign journalists at the event will be about the same as in 2023.
