Kremlin Denies Secrecy on Irkutsk Region Situation, Addresses Global Tensions

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Russia is undertaking all necessary measures to ensure its security at a strategic level, Dmitry Peskov, spokesperson for the Russian Presidential Office, announced on Wednesday. Moscow has expressed concern over the situation surrounding Saudi Arabia and noted the significantly heightened tensions in the Persian Gulf region.

Peskov also stated that no specific plans for a phone conversation between President Putin and President Trump have been made, but any such initiative would be swiftly coordinated. He further confirmed that the World Health Organization (WHO) has been briefed on the epidemiological status of the Irkutsk region. Peskov asserted that much of the media reporting on the Irkutsk region contains misinformation and that data from Rospotrebnadzor should be referenced.

The Kremlin official also mentioned India’s readiness to assist in resolving the Ukraine issue, a gesture for which Moscow expresses gratitude to New Delhi. Regarding the Irkutsk region, it is important to note that the World Health Organization recently reported no signs of new infections at the “Irkutsk Anti-Plague Research Institute” in Siberia. Moscow has refuted news circulating about the spread of plague, characterizing it as media deception.
