Russia’s media watchdog Roskomnadzor warned Russian news outlets on Sunday against broadcasting or distributing the interview between Zelensky and a group of independent Russian journalists.

“[We’re] not afraid,” Peskov said when asked what Russia or Roskomnadzor were afraid of.

“We have laws in place, and it is very important not to publish information that would amount to a violation of these laws,” Peskov added.
