Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested extending the arms deal for one year, without any conditions, so that the two sides could discuss all the parameters of the arms control during this period. US National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien said this proposal was “a non-starter.” The US had […]

Moscow has dismissed a report by Parisian newspaper Le Monde claiming President Vladimir Putin told his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron that Russian “internet troublemaker” Alexey Navalny may have poisoned himself. “The newspaper is absolutely incorrect in its wording,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists on Wednesday. Peskov was referring to a report, on Tuesday, by the French daily claiming some insights into the content of talks between Putin and the French president. Le Monde claimed it had obtained the sensitive information from anonymous sources. Which, if true, would be a serious violation of diplomatic rules. The article alleged that Putin had referred to […]
MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Alexander Lukashenko is the legitimate president of Belarus, and all Belarusians are seen as brotherly people in Russia, regardless of whether they agree with the latest election results or not, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday. “Alexander Grigoryevich [Lukashenko] is the legitimate president of the Republic of Belarus and is a vis-a-vis of President [Vladimir] Putin in interstate relations”, Peskov said following Russian President Vladimir Putin meeting with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko in Sochi.

Intelligence officials have long been warning that Russian agents will inevitably try to interfere in the 2020 campaign—now some appear to have been caught targeting a key Biden campaign firm. Reuters reported Thursday morning that suspected Russian state-backed hackers have attempted to breach the systems at Washington-based SKDKnickerbocker, a strategy and communications firm working hand-in-glove with Joe Biden’s campaign. The attacks, which took place over the past two months, were unsuccessful. The failed hacking attempt was brought to SKDK’s attention by Microsoft, which reportedly gathered information identifying hackers linked to the Kremlin as the most likely suspects. The attacks are said […]

Even though we have the Union State, which is very dear to us, we are still two different countries, two different sovereign states,” Peskov told reporters, when asked if the Kremlin thought it possible to have the repeat of Belarusian events in Russia. Russia has “a different political culture, a different political landscape, different political trends,” […]

US citizens may “unwittingly” become Russian agents and spread “disinformation” about Joe Biden, Senator Mark Warner has warned, urging the intelligence community to be more vocal and tell the public what to do. According to the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, one should be particularly vigilant about the Russian trolls, lurking around the social media feeds, as Kremlin is allegedly once again seeking to prop up President Donald Trump and help him secure re-election in November. Speaking to NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday, the Senator warned that if one is not careful enough, he can accidentally become […]
There are no obstacles preventing Moscow protest leader Alexey Navalny from flying abroad for treatment other than receiving permission from his doctor, according to Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov. Navalny was taken to a hospital in the Siberian city of Omsk on Thursday morning, after becoming ill on a flight from Tomsk to Moscow. Members of his team believe the activist has been poisoned, and have arranged to fly him to the European Union. His associates have appealed to the Kremlin to allow him to be evacuated to a German specialist hospital, but Moscow insists the decision to let him go […]
The team treating Alexey Navalny has managed to stabilize his condition, a lead medic has said. Dr Anatoly Kalinichenko said Russia’s best-known anti-corruption activist was in intensive care and getting the necessary treatment. The doctor also said there are no plans to transfer Navalny to Moscow. His supporters have requested that be moved to Germany or France so he can be admitted to a specialist clinic. Earlier, President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that “if the Kremlin or the Russian Health Ministry received a request for Navalny’s transfer to a foreign hospital, it would be considered promptly.” “So far, we […]

So Hitler didn’t escape to South America to run a bar with Elvis? On Friday, the daughter of Russia’s press secretary posted a photo of his remains, in storage at the Federal Security Service’s (FSB) secret archives in Moscow On her popular Instagram account, Elizaveta Peskova shared photographs of the dental remains of Adolf Hitler and his wife, Eva Braun.

Thierry Baudet of The Netherlands’ leading opposition party Forum for Democracy is best friends with the American ambassador and calls for increased spending on NATO. Still the Dutch mainstream media keep framing him as an agent of Russia. When asked for their opinion on Russia three nationalities stand out for their unfavourable view: the Americans, Swedes and Dutch. I don’t know about Sweden, but I do know for a fact that the mass media in the US and The Netherlands have something to do with this, to put it mildly. They never let a day go by without blaming “Putin” or […]
After a Russian TV channel loosely inspired by America’s Fox News was blocked by video-streaming service YouTube earlier this week, Vladimir Putin’s spokesman says Western web giants should be treated with a “low degree of trust.” Dmitry Peskov emphasized that the companies are completely unaccountable and can do as they please. He said the public needs to be aware that they can be “thrown out of there along with their account” at any moment.Tsargrad TV – launched with the help of ex-Fox producer Jack Hanick in 2015 – announced that the Google subsidiary blocked its account on July 28 over an […]
President Vladimir Putin has not received the domestic coronavirus vaccine, according to spokesman Dmitry Peskov. The denial comes on the day anonymous claims emerged that the Russian elite has had access to it since April. Speaking to reporters, Peskov explained that the president had not yet been administered the experimental drug, because it’s “not very good for the head of state to receive an uncertified vaccine.” He was diagnosed with Covid-19 himself in May, and also denied being vaccinated. On Monday morning, Bloomberg claimed that “scores of members of Russia’s business and political elite have been given early access to an […]
The “terrible” state of relations between the US and Russia is not what other nations expect from the two countries with the world’s biggest nuclear arsenals, a Kremlin spokesman has said. “Our relationship remains at almost-bottom point. The situation is terrible both in bilateral aspects and in terms of our responsibility for multilateral affairs, first of all, in arms control and strategic stability,” Dmitry Peskov said in an interview with Russian TV. He noted that “shy” expert contacts between the two nations have been failing to preserve strategic arms control agreements, like the now-defunct Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF), which was […]

It’s time for Russia to move away from oil and reduce its dependency on oil prices. That’s according to Anatoly Chubais, the CEO of technology company Rusnano and former deputy prime minister under President Boris Yeltsin. Speaking to the Russian-language edition of American business magazine Forbes, Chubais explained that Russia is hugely dependent on oil prices and has based its national accounts on a rate that may not be reached. “Look at any oil price forecasts. Even the biggest optimists – how much do they say? $40 a barrel? This year’s budget is calculated at $42.5 per barrel. If we rely […]
This week, countries across Europe have celebrated the 75th Anniversary of the Allied forces crushing the Nazis, an effort to which the Soviet Union was absolutely fundamental and essential. The relations between Czechia, one of many countries liberated by the redoubtable Red Army at the conclusion of World War II’s European theatre, and the Russian Federation have been anything but warm and cordial recently. At the end of April, scores of Western journalists and pundits seized upon a seemingly sensational story – mere weeks earlier, a Russian intelligence operative was said to have flown into Prague armed with a suitcase containing […]
