Another toxic blizzard from Peskov - military officers are furious
Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that the Russian army in Ukraine is suffering significant losses.
He spoke about this in an interview with Sky News, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Yes, we have significant losses, this is a huge tragedy for us. But the retreat from Kyiv and Chernigov is a gesture of goodwill during negotiations. This was done to relieve tension in these regions and show that we are ready to continue negotiations,” Peskov said.
On March 25, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that during the month of the special operation in Ukraine, 1 Russian servicemen were killed and 351 were injured.
“All sorts of people who cannot express themselves clearly, chew their words when they speak, they need to close their mouths so that they no longer appear on the big screens. Or these people need to be removed from their positions so that they can express their private idiotic opinions. Every statement by an official should provide encouragement to all those fighting at the front.
Peskov cannot be released anywhere. How can an English TV channel say that we have significant losses? What is this anyway? This is betrayal on the home front. What Peskov said today has a bad effect on the morale of military personnel. We must be held accountable for this,” said militiaman and military correspondent Maxim Fomin in an interview with the presidential press secretary.
His colleague Yuri Kotenok agrees with him.
“According to sources in law enforcement agencies, the latest statements by the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov caused, to put it mildly, a mixed reaction among the personnel. Without advertising their position, expressing their opinion privately, the servicemen pointed out the inadmissibility of such statements by representatives of the country's top leadership, which could directly or indirectly influence the morale of the troops in combat conditions.
And although the words of the high-ranking speaker were addressed to the media of a state declaring Russia an “aggressor” and an “occupier,” they were immediately picked up by the media of the Kiev regime, causing delight in the part of Ukraine hostile to Russia and the Russian people,” he wrote in his telegram channel.
Ukrainian blogger Olga Shariy translated other fragments of Peskov’s interview. In response to the British journalist’s passage that Russia allegedly lost “thousands of soldiers, 6 generals, hundreds of tanks” and was humiliated, the press secretary could only squeeze out: “this is a misunderstanding of what is happening.”
Peskov demonstrated basic illiteracy and called Mariupol part of the LPR. When he was asked about the girl from the Mariupol maternity hospital, he did not consider it necessary to talk about her latest interview, in which she exposes the fake bombing. Finally, he simply refused to explain why Bucha is a fake, citing lack of time.
“I’ve never seen people smear themselves like this with their own hands,” Shariy wrote.
Earlier, outrage was caused by Peskov’s interview with the Belarus-1 TV channel, in which he called TV presenter Ivan Urgant, who fled Russia, “a great patriot.”
