ST. PETERSBURG: Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov has criticized what he described as a “misguided” tendency among Poland and the Baltic states to view Russia through the lens of fear and hostility.
In a recent interview, Peskov remarked that for centuries, certain European countries have lacked what he called “friendly sentiments” toward Russia. He pointed to Poland as a notable example where bilateral relations remain strained, while the Baltic states, he said, consistently exhibit an atmosphere of suspicion toward Moscow — a pattern that, according to him, intensifies under each new government.
Peskov argued that such attitudes are based on long-standing misconceptions and do not reflect reality. He stressed that both sides could benefit from deeper engagement, especially in cultural and historical spheres.
According to the Kremlin spokesman, Poland and the Baltic nations “have much to discover” from Russia and from the historical experiences shared across the region.
