President Vladimir Putin unexpectedly postponed his annual phone marathon on Wednesday, the first time in 18 years.
Putin has held the "Direct Line" dial-in session for Russian citizens to fire questions at him each year since 2001, only missing it once, in 2004.
Speaking to the state-run TASS news agency on Wednesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov gave no reason for the change and said the dial-in wouldn't happen in June.
Somewhere between two and three million Russians try to talk to Putin during the phone-in each year, according to TASS. Past "Direct Line" events have run for more than four hours.
In recent months, Putin has missed several routine events.
In April, Putin's annual address to Russia's Federal Assembly was postponed and has not been rescheduled, The Moscow Times reported. Last month, Putin didn't turn up at an annual ice hockey game in Sochi even though he was expected to play.

Maybe he already used up all his monthly minutes.
Let’s just hope the next person to be Russian President won’t be any worse.
(Just kidding. We all know it won’t be a woman.)
LOL.
Putin wants Patrushev to replace him.
The oligarchs want their yachts and villas back.
Who will the oligarchs support?
“President Vladimir Putin unexpectedly postponed his annual phone marathon on Wednesday, the first time in 18 years.”
Hopefully he’s busy dying a prolonged and miserably painful death from colorectal cancer.
He just gave an interview a couple of days ago where he looked perfectly healthy, very good, in fact, for someone almost 70.
Some get off on porn, you get off on hating Putin. It's sick fetish. Seek psychiatric help.
Putin’s doctors cut out a bunch of his diseased colon, but now he’s suffering from infections and dealing with stoma issues.
Gee, ya think he’s got other important things to do? Oh, like managing the war and trying to figure out how to productively use all of new territory recently acquired by the Russian Federation in what used to be Ukraine?
Maybe his health, or he just doesn’t want to risk calls getting through about lost sons in Ukraine.
Collapsing after a 1-hour video meeting with his military advisors is not a good look for your Stronk Leader.
You would have been a great aid to Hitler in managing his conquests. Don’t worry about those disloyal citizens, Fuhrer, you need to handle the Jewish problem and all that French art work.
Luckily he ended up dead in a bunker, and your hero Putin will join him very soon.
Death to Putin!
I don’t hate Putin, but I want him dead. That’s a reasonable wish based on his crimes against humanity.
VLAD’S bad hair day. Soon to be on fire.
Wagner boss Prigozhin just went BOOM! LOL!
Why don’t Hero Ukraine shooters that has killed so many Russian Generals just take Putin out? Maybe because the USA really shot the Generals and they must approve all actions of their client state? It should be easy to take out the Russian dacha where the Mad Hitler-Putin is recovering—its not far from Ukraine? One bullet and Ukraine is FREE to recover all lost lands and get Billions from Russia to rebuild their Democracy as a monument to Freedom. Maybe the USA can give them a copy of the Statue of Liberty? Trump could build a resort on the Black Sea for all the American Tourists?
Bad day for the Wagner Group and Yevgeny Prigozhin in occupied Luhansk.
Boom!

You do not seem to realize, Putin is actually a moderate over there.
