Peskov: the main thing is that Western politicians have read Putin’s interview. Earlier, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called Putin's interview “ridiculous” and said that the West should continue military assistance to Ukraine.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, in turn, criticized the interview. According to the leader of the Patriots movement, Florian Filippo, Putin's interviews caused hysteria in NATO.  According to Filippa, Putin‘s position is fully represented in interview.
