Moscow time November 5, 2025, Dmitry Peskov, Deputy Head of the Russian Presidential Administration and Kremlin Spokesman, responded to questions from the Kremlin press corps:

You know, this trip is currently not possible, and journalists cannot enter the encirclement of Kupiansk and Krasnoarmeysk.
