Kremlin says expected more of information attacks against Putin, his friends

The Kremlin sees no reason why it should care about calls being made in the social networks for impeaching President Vladimir Putin due to the published investigation

MOSCOW, April 4. /TASS/. The Kremlin is disappointed by the lack of professionalism in the investigation of alleged corruption among Russian President Vladimir Putin’s friends, presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday.

"Informational exercises against the president continue. We expected it, we announced it. These attacks continued. I admit that we expected more professional results of the work of this journalistic community," Peskov said.

He added that "in fact, not much new information was voiced." "I can rather express disappointment here. In many ways, when we talk about this community, traditions of qualitative journalistic investigations have sunk into oblivion," Peskov concluded.

"Lots of things are lacking [in the investigation made public the day before]. They stop at nothing, invent and falsify facts. They actually prepare themselves, make information public and then promote it in target audiences," Peskov said. He added that "there was nothing specific and new" about Putin personally in the materials, "there are no details, all the rest is based on allegations and speculations." Therefore, the presidential administration sees no need to respond to such publications.
