Peskov emphasized that the Kremlin does not believe the investigations of journalists. “We, the Kremlin, do not want to continue to participate in the continuation of this issue, all the more to exaggerate it, having a media as a partner. [...] We cannot, on such a sensitive issue, as an incident with Skripals, have the media as a substitution,” the presidential press secretary said.

The Insider gives other examples of how the Kremlin spokesman tried to confuse opponents with the help of meaningless and evasive answers.

About the case of Skripal

“Why Russia? Why is Russia accused? Perhaps this is a very rude analogy, especially in this situation, although, it seems to me, it is difficult to come up with a coarser of what happened in real life.

To the clarifying question of the BBC correspondent, whether Russia recognizes the results of the investigation, which states that the “beech” from which the plane was shot down was brought to Ukraine from Russia, and then they took it back, Peskov repeated that preliminary results were voiced.

“There is nothing to accept or deny. First of all, I repeat, these are preliminary conclusions, we still need to continue the investigation. Unfortunately, we have not seen any evidence, ”said the press secretary of the President of Russia.

According to him, there was a very serious tragedy and cannot be operated on “unfounded statements”, because the “devil in detail”. The details, in his opinion, are not enough to say exactly that "the weapon has arrived from this side or from this direction."

“I heard that,” Peskov said, answering the question of whether he heard about the investigation of Alexei Navalny, being on vacation. “I do not use the Internet during rest, I have not seen this and do not want to see. He does not intend to discuss his family with anyone, ”said the presidential spokesman.

About Russian troops in the Donbass

In November 2015, Reuters journalists published an investigation in which, referring to the words of the head of Gazprombank Andrei Akimov, they call the head of “Innopractics” Katerina Tikhonova, Putin's daughter. This is what Peskov said about this:

“I can refute the information that was stated in the Reuters, because the Reuters indicated that Akimov said that such a citizen is Putin's daughter. This is what I can refute, based on his own refutation. [...] And as for the daughters who are the daughters of Putin, I can’t tell you, because I do not have such information and should not have, this is not included in my official duties. ”

In March 2018, in an interview with NBC, Vladimir Putin, answering one of the questions, said that he did not control each employee of the Presidential Administration, and his spokeswoman Dmitry Peskov sometimes carries a “blizzard”. “We have two thousand employees of the administration, do you really think that I am controlling everyone? There, Peskov sits opposite, my spokeswoman, he sometimes carries such a “blizzard”, I watch on TV and think: what does he say there? Who entrusted him with this? I have no idea that he [an adviser in cybersecurity] said, well, you ask him. Do you think that I have to comment on everything that the administration or government employees say or something?
