Russian President was compelled to delay a highly anticipated speech by an hour, at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum on Friday after a cyberattack disrupted the system handling access badges to the venue, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. The decision was made in order to fix & repair the damages and ensure all the safety measures for audiences. This was arguably Putin's first big speech since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
