“Against us”: the Kremlin commented on the dismissal of a diplomat at the UN

“Legal case” with South Ossetia

Peskov commented on the upcoming referendum in South Ossetia, during which citizens of the republic will have to decide whether they want to join Russia.

“I have already talked about this issue and I will repeat once again that no action has been taken or planned by Russia in this case and in this matter,” Peskov said.

According to him, it is necessary to legally settle the question of the referendum.

“If we understand correctly, the referendum issue is legally formulated as the unification of the Republic of South Ossetia and Russia. That is, legally, this is such an event, because if it is unity, then we are talking about the creation of a third state, which, of course, is impossible. Therefore, of course, probably legally, there should be a bit of thinking only about statements, ”explained the press secretary of the Russian leader.

South Ossetia’s elected president, Alan Gagloev, was sworn in as president on Tuesday, sworn in on the Constitution. After winning the election, he said in an interview with TASS that his country wants maximum integration with the Russian Federation, therefore, as soon as South Ossetia receives a suitable signal from Russia, a referendum on joining the Russian Federation will be held.

Release Time

Commenting on Time’s publication of world leaders, Peskov said “there have been better times” in the magazine’s history. According to him, in this “time of crisis” it is “emotionally and professionally very difficult for all publications.”

“There are so many strange things out there, it’s not clear why the most influential politician is the Prime Minister of Barbados, whom everyone respects. It’s also not clear why a reputable publication still aligns the US president with, so to speak, one of the Russian prisoners – this is also hard to understand. But by the way, this is probably the choice of the editors, ”says Peskov.

On the eve of American Time magazine, Vladimir Putin and the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky were included in the list of one hundred most influential people in 2022. At the same time, the Russian leader was introduced on the air by his critic Alexei Navalny, and a supporter of the Ukrainian president was introduced by US President Joe Biden.

Worry about Dodon

Peskov said the Kremlin views the allegations against the country’s former president, Igor Dodon, as an internal matter of Moldova.

“Firstly, this is an internal matter of Moldova. Secondly, we are of course concerned about the use of such a practice and persecution against those who advocate the development of friendly and mutually beneficial relations with the Russian Federation, that is, with our country. So, of course, we hope and want to make sure that all of Dodon’s legal rights will be respected.”

On Tuesday, it was learned that Dodon was detained for 72 hours and his house was searched. The former president is suspected of “passive corruption”, “accepting the financing of a political party from a criminal organization”, “treason” and “illegal enrichment”. A criminal case was opened against him.

Dismissal of a diplomat at the UN

Peskov believes Boris Bondarev, adviser to a retired Russian diplomat at the UN, is against Russia’s “consolidated view”.

The day before, the diplomat announced in a publicly released letter that he did not participate in the conduct of a military special operation in Ukraine, and left, considering it “the most serious crime against the people of Russia”, “Ukraine” and “Ukraine”. “in fact, against the entire Western world.”

“We are not familiar with this letter in the Kremlin. Mr. Bondarev is no longer with us, he is against us. Location. It condemns the actions of the Russian leadership, and the actions of the Russian leadership are supported by almost the entire population of our country. This means that this gentleman is speaking against the general consolidated opinion of our country, ”says the press secretary of the president of Russia.

Travel to Donbass

According to Peskov, Russian politicians travel to the Donbass not on behalf of the Kremlin, but according to their personal plans.

“Each according to a separate plan. Depends on suitability and necessity. Empty trips (to be. – socialbites.ca) can not be, ”said.

Earlier, the DPR was visited by the head of the LDPR faction in the State Duma of the Russian Federation Leonid Slutsky and other party members. They met with the head of the republic, Denis Pushilin.

The new head of the Ministry of Emergencies

Asked why it took so long to decide on the new head of Russia’s Emergencies Ministry, Peskov said that Putin made a decision “as he saw fit” on his candidacy for the head of department. He stressed that the Russian leader was well aware of the proposed Alexander Kurenkov for this post.

“Putin knows Kurenkov well personally. And the choice means, in the opinion of the head of state, that Kurenkov’s personal service and professional qualities will allow him to perform these functions in the best possible way,” said the official.

Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said that the Russian Federation does not plan to unite with South Ossetia, because it means the creation of a third state. He also commented on the dismissal of the Russian diplomat at the UN and said that the Kremlin is concerned about criminal prosecution of the former Moldovan president, but considers it an internal matter of the republic. Peskov’s main statements at the briefing are in the material of socialbites.ca.
