The Kremlin considers reactions from German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s interview with US journalist Tucker Carlson “emotional,” but believes that the most important is that they are aware of its content, spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday.
"Apparently they are familiar with the content of the interview, and this is the main thing for us," Peskov told reporters.
The spokesman mentioned that the western leaders have heard Putin’s stance on the conflict in Ukraine "another time" and this is the main thing.
"And the emotional reaction is probably for the sake of the situation in which their countries are now and for the sake of trying to somehow explain themselves to their taxpayers," Peskov said.
