Russian President Vladimir Putin enjoys colossal authority in the world and is one of its main leaders. This was stated by the press secretary of the head of state Dmitry Peskov.
In the broadcast of the programme “Moscow. Kremlin. Putin”, a fragment of which was shared on journalist Pavel Zarubin’s personal Telegram channel, Peskov noted that Putin has a very large audience in the collective West, although they tend to demonise him there.
“But in the global majority – that is, everything that is not the ‘golden billion’ – there is a completely different attitude towards our president,” Peskov added.
Also during the programme, he spoke about the main objective of Putin’s interview with US journalist Tucker Carlson. According to Peskov, it was to make the Russian leader heard and seen.
