“As usual”: Peskov answers all questions from foreign agent Venediktov in correspondence
Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov did not stop communicating with the former editor-in-chief of the Ekho Moskvy radio station even after he was recognized as a foreign agent and the radio station, which spoke from an “anti-war” position, was closed.
Venediktov himself spoke about this in an interview with Forbes, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We correspond with him the same way as we usually did. He answers me. I ask him questions for clarification. I also have Zelensky’s assistants on my phone who answer me. Roman Arkadyevich Abramovich answers me. You never know who answers me. I am a man with reputation. But I understand that Dmitry Sergeevich Peskov is the voice of President Putin. And even in personal correspondence. I continue to communicate with federal ministers and governors,” Venediktov said.
Since the beginning of the SVO, Peskov has made a series of controversial statements. In an interview with the BBC, he spoke about the “huge losses” of the Russian army and did not expose the fake story about Butch, which caused outrage in the army. In an interview with a Belarusian TV channel, he admitted that he installed a VPN and read social networks banned in Russia. In addition, Peskov desperately defended show business stars who fled abroad, justifying them by saying that they were “patriots, but they were scared.”
