“Of course, as this book appears, and the text itself is already available on the Internet, we read it slowly. But this is Bolton’s version, therefore, let’s say this, it’s not quite typical for such high-ranking officials to be frank in transmitting information that is not really intended to be passed on to anyone, ”Peskov said.

He noted that “any publication should still be checked”

“We are gradually getting to know this book,” Peskov added.

On June 20, US President Donald Trump said that Bolton “violated the law” by publishing memoirs that contained “huge amounts of classified information.” The Russian Foreign Ministry commented on the publication of Bolton's book.
