In the first Kremlin comment on the mass protests in Moscow, Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov has told me the president has not spoken out about the demonstrations because he doesn't think they are significant enough.

Putin also described Nemtsov, Politkovskaya, Litvinenko, Skripal as not significant enough to have been targeted. Whatever the Kremlin says, the opposite is usually true. https://t.co/MxENEU4AT7
