MOSCOW, March 30. /TASS/. The Kremlin does not comment on reports on the so-called "Nemtsov report" being prepared by opposition politician Ilya Yashin, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday.

Earlier Yashin announced the forthcoming presentation of the "Nemtsov report", which claimed that Russia is allegedly involved in hostilities in Ukraine.

"I can’t and am not going to give any comments based on some previews of the report," Peskov told journalists answering a question.

"I don’t know what report the talk is about now, anyway, I can’t say anything without seeing it," the spokesman said.

He recalled that a couple of years ago, Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov issued a report on preparation of the Olympic Games in the southern Russian resort of Sochi.

"I will say frankly - it did not impress me, did not require special comments," Peskov said.

Russian opposition and state figure, deputy of a regional legislature, Boris Nemtsov, was shot dead on downtown Moscow’s Bolshoy Moskvoretsky Bridge overnight to February 28 from a handgun. Nemtsov was a co-chair of the RPR-Parnas party. He held a number of government positions in the 1990s.
