Kremlin Declines To Comment On Petition By Soldiers Mothers To End Special Operation

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Monday declined to comment on a petition filed by mothers of mobilized and conscript soldiers calling for an end to Russia's special operation in Ukraine, saying he had not seen it.

On Sunday, an initiative group of mothers of mobilized and conscript soldiers, together with Russia's Feminist Anti-War Resistance movement, launched a petition on change.org, asking for the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine and the return of all Russian soldiers home.

"No, you know, unfortunately, I haven't seen it, so I cannot comment. To be honest, I don't know what kind of organization it is, so I can't say anything," Peskov told a briefing, when asked to comment on the petition.

Asked about the Kremlin's attitude to the initiative, given that Russian President Vladimir Putin had a meeting with mothers of soldiers last week, Peskov also refrained from providing any assessments, saying he didn't "understand what kind of act it is and what they (mothers) mean."

"I haven't read it, so it would be wrong to comment without reading it," the Kremlin spokesman added.
