Security measures at Russian President Vladimir Putin's annual press conference this week will remain as high as they routinely are, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Putin postponed the address from Thursday, December 22, to Friday, December 23, to take part in the memorial service paying respects to Russian Ambassador to Turkey Andrey Karlov on Thursday. Karlov was assassinated on Monday at an art gallery exhibition opening in Ankara in what Moscow classified was a terrorist attack.

"Of course security measures, as with other fairly large events, corresponding to the current moment are taken during the organization of the press conference," Peskov told reporters.
