Peskov urged to use foreign media interest in Russian Federation to deliver the truth

Russia and Russian President Vladimir Putin are of great interest to the world media, and this should be used to deliver the truth. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on December 18.

"Our country and our president are the objects of increased interest of the world media. And although this interest manifests itself in such a one-sided, biased, customized, biased information agenda, there is still interest, so we need to use this interest to convey our truth through them, to convey through them information about ourselves, our position," Peskov said on the air of Channel One.

He noted that it is better for the Russian Federation's position to sound from the source.

The Kremlin spokesman also noted that the main number of questions is still expected from Russian journalists. At the same time, Peskov emphasized that it is planned to give the floor to all comers.

Earlier in the day, Peskov told Izvestia that some foreign journalists from unfriendly countries would be present at the Russian president's press conference. In addition, he noted that some of them expressed a desire to come specifically for the press conference.

On December 17, the headquarters of the People's Front movement reported that the number of requests for a direct line with the head of state exceeded 1.4 million applications. Prior to that, on December 14, Putin said that he had already familiarized himself with the questions he would have to answer during the direct line.

The direct line of the head of state will be combined with a large press conference. The events will be held under the title "The results of the year with Vladimir Putin". Representatives of Western media and foreign journalists accredited in Russia have received invitations.
