The Kremlin spokesman made the remarks in response to US journalist Tucker Carlson’s claim that US authorities attempted to assassinate Putin.
“Russian special services consistently take all necessary measures to ensure public safety and, of course, the security of those under state protection, especially, the head of State,” Peskov stressed.
Earlier, Carlson stated that the administration of former US President Joe Biden had attempted to kill Putin, an action the journalist described as demented.
In this regard, the reporter affirmed that Washington’s leadership in general aimed a suicidal confrontation with Moscow, and in particular, former US Secretary of State Antony Blinken allegedly intended to accelerate an armed conflict between the United States and Russia.
