Peskov denied that in the announcement of Putin’s address he promised fateful decisions

Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the media gave out a fake for his words on the eve of appeals President Vladimir Putin on the situation with the rebellion of the Wagner PMC. He denies promising fateful decisions.

“Well, of course (this is fake.— “b”). There was no such statement. Very unprofessional on the part of many,” said Mr. Peskov “RIA News”.

Initially, the announcement of the appeal of Mr. Putin with reference to Mr. Peskov did “First channel”. It said that “Vladimir Putin’s statements from the Kremlin are expected in the evening. Later, in Telegram channels and in the media, including state-owned ones, there appeared words allegedly said by Mr. Peskov that the president’s speech, “without exaggeration, will determine the fate of Russia.”

It is not known who first started spreading the fake. Many have already deleted inaccurate messages. The Bell (listed as foreign agents), which also received a retraction from the president’s press secretary, believes that the anonymous Telegram channel Brief was the original source. The authors of the channel deny this and claim that they took the information from another anonymous channel, Staraya Ploshchad, where the allegations are also denied.

As Kommersant noted, the phrase that the president’s statements “without exaggeration will determine the fate of Russia” was one of the first after the announcement on Channel One to be circulated by the chairman of the movement “We are with Russia” Vladimir Rogov, but he did not attribute it to Mr. Peskov. “Vladimir Putin will make a number of important statements tonight,” Peskov said. These statements, without exaggeration, will determine the fate of Russia,” Mr. Rogov wrote in his Telegram channel. Probably, Mr. Rogov added the second phrase on his own behalf.
