SIRIUS: Russians and Americans are alike and their countries are not enemies, Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.
Speaking at the Knowledge First educational marathon, held within the World Youth Festival, Peskov noted that there are no anti-American sentiments in Russia, but Moscow does not like US politicians, who insult Russia.
Asked by an American journalist about the current state of affairs between Moscow and Washington, Peskov said: "We are very grateful that you are here today."
"It proves that sooner or later the realization that the peoples of America and Russia are not enemies will eventually come," he continued.
"We have no anti-American sentiments," Peskov stressed. "We do not like American senior officials and politicians, who keep insulting our president."
"America is currently the most powerful country in the world," Peskov stressed. "They are wonderful people, who are very much like us, who create a lot [of innovations] for the world."
"There are numerous people around the globe taking advantage of what is being created in America, it includes our country, and that's okay," Peskov added.
The World Youth Festival is taking place in the Sirius Federal Territory in far southern Russia on March 1-7, 2024. More than 300,000 people from 190 countries have applied to take part. Participants in the festival’s regional program will visit 30 Russian cities on March 10-17. TASS is the event’s general information partner.
