Peskov explained that at Putin’s almost 4-hour press conference, “the turn did not come to foreign media agents.”

The press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov said that representatives of foreign media agents could not ask a question to his boss Vladimir Putin at the final press conference, because “it was not their turn.”

Recall that on the eve of Peskov advised not to attach much importance to the fact that journalists from foreign media outlets were invited to the final press conference of his boss Vladimir Putin and urged not to exaggerate. “There is no need to look for nuances, there are none,” he said and assured that foreign agents are “the same media”, they will participate in the press conference and “have the same right to ask a question” as non-foreign agents.

Last week, the judge of the Zamoskvoretsky District Court of Moscow, Nelly Rubtsova did not satisfy the claim of JSC “RS-Balt” (founder of IA “Rosbalt”) against the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation on entry into the register of media-foreign agents.

Nikolai Ulyanov, editor-in-chief of the Rosbalt news agency, emphasized that the decision of the Zamoskvoretsky court will be appealed. “We are definitely not satisfied with the verdict of the court. In our opinion, a formal approach to the case was demonstrated, the reliability of the data that served as the basis for entering Rosbalt into the register of foreign agents was not investigated, representatives of the government agencies that provided this information were not involved in the meeting. The decision of the court will be appealed to a higher instance, ”he said.
