Answering the question about the information picture taking shape around the state of emergency in the Arkhangelsk region, Peskov suggested looking at the situation from the other side.
“That this situation is such that someone wants to intentionally heat up the information background, distort reality and present the situation as if there were prerequisites for danger,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
Earlier, Peskov called absurd rumors about a "radioactive cloud" near Arkhangelsk.
