Russia's presidential office says President Vladimir Putin will deliver his State of the Nation Address to the federal assembly on February 21.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov made the announcement on Friday.

Russian presidents usually make the speech every year to outline domestic and diplomatic policies to assembly members and government officials.

This will be Putin's first address since Russia began its assault on Ukraine in February last year.

Putin's speech is expected to refer to the invasion. Attention is focused on how he will describe the situation.
