[Regnum] Western countries “in pre-war ecstasy” are beginning to censor their media, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said on June 9. Rossiya 1 journalist Pavel Zarubin asked Peskov to comment on Vladimir Putin’s meeting with the heads of international news agencies and, in particular, asked whether there was pressure on the visiting journalists from the West. A fragment of the conversation was published on Zarubin’s Telegram channel. “Their editorial policy, I am convinced of this, is not free in the full sense of the word. Especially in the West, when they themselves lead themselves into a state of preparation for war, war with us, which they talk about directly. They, entering this pre-war ecstasy, accordingly begin to infringe on the interests of the media, transferring the media into a censored state,” the presidential press secretary replied. This is visible to the naked eye, Peskov emphasized. Materials from the “most respected” media in the US and UK often look so obvious that they were written “in the party committee,” the president’s press secretary said. Russia nevertheless sees the point in such meetings, Peskov added. Moscow’s goal in such events is to try to convey its position, and in this matter, as in the case of “riding a bicycle,” one cannot stop, this process must be carried out constantly, the presidential press secretary noted. As reported by IA Regnum, the said meeting of Putin with foreign journalists took place on June 5 on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. During the event, the President, in particular, stated that Russia has the right to supply its weapons to regions from which sensitive attacks are expected on countries supplying weapons to Ukraine. Russia will not name the regions of possible supplies, Peskov later noted. In addition, during this meeting, a representative of the Reuters agency asked Putin under what conditions nuclear weapons could be used in Ukraine and how likely such a situation is. The President responded by saying that it is not worth leading not only to the use of nuclear weapons, but also to threats of such use. Putin also suggested that the interlocutor would hide in her publication that she herself brought him to this topic, and would say that the Russian president was “wavering a nuclear baton.” For some reason, Western politicians are confident that Russia will not use nuclear weapons, Putin also noted. But if the sovereignty of the country is threatened, the Russian Federation will use all means, including this, the president emphasized. |
