Peskov indicated that he has no authority to comment on statements made by American political figures within the United States.
We are also unsure about the veracity of this news.
There is now a lot of fake news. Typically, fake news is much more prevalent than real news. We always start our analysis with this in mind,” he said.
According to reports, CNN recently released a recording where President Trump made remarks at a private fundraising event for his 2024 re-election campaign. In the recording, Trump stated that he had threatened Russian President Vladimir Putin:
“If the other side tries to resolve the Ukraine issue with force, the United States will ‘bomb Moscow.'”
The report did not specify the specific time and context of these conversations.
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has drawn multifaceted stakeholders into competing interests.
