Opponents of Vladimir Putin posed as recruiting officers and called the son of the Kremlin spokesman to call on him for the military mobilization for the war in Ukraine, which the Russian president announced on Wednesday. On the other hand, Nikolai announced that Dmitry Peskov is his father and was not interested in going to fight.
“Of course I won’t be there tomorrow at 10 am,” he replied according to Ukrainska Pravda, unaware that he was the target of a match.
“If you know that I am Mr. Peskov, you must understand how wrong it is for me to be there. I am going to look at this on a different level. I need to understand in general what is happening and what my rights are,” explained he out in the phone conversation. , according to the Russian independent website The Insider.
However, he stated that he is willing to fight for Russia, but in the end did not give permission to volunteer. “I have no problem defending my homeland, but I have to understand the ease of being there, I’m talking about certain political nuances,” he justified.
“I’m ready to go, but not at your request. As Vladimir Vladimirovich [Putin] tell me to go, I will go,” added Nikolai, who, however, said he did not meet the criteria for this mobilization.
A representative of the Navalny team, named Nikolai Peskov, pretended to be an employee of the military registry and asked him to come to the commissariat. Peskov’s son made it clear that there was no need to wait for him, for he is blue-blooded, no ordinary mortal.

It was Dmitry Nizovtsev who called the son of the Kremlin spokesman, posing as a recruiting officer. The conversation was recorded for the “Popular Politics” program, made by supporters of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, and can be heard on YouTube.
