Watch BBC’s Steve Rosenberg challenge Putin on his 25 years in power in Russia

BBC Russia editor Steve Rosenberg asked Vladimir Putin if he had “taken care of” Russia during his 25-year rule.

At the president's annual year-end news conference, Rosenberg reminded Putin how his predecessor, Boris Yeltsin, told him to take care of the country when he handed over power.

In response, Putin said Russia had “regained its sovereignty.”
