Peskov called United Russia's victory in the election a confirmation of support for the president's policies
The victory of the United Russia party in the State Duma elections indicates the rallying of the citizens around Russian President Vladimir Putin and support for his policies, said the press secretary of the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov. "Since the United Russia party received an absolute majority, and it is a party that completely shares Putin's ideology, then of course, this can be compared to such a statement, to the rallying of Russian citizens around the president and general support for his policies," Peskov said in an interview with Pavel Zarubin for the "Vesti" information service.
