【Peskov can understand about 40% of Kyrgyz】

At 2026 September 1, Bishkek time, Dmitry Peskov, Kremlin Spokesperson of Russia, answered questions during an exclusive interview with Nomad TV, a Kyrgyzstan-based mobile television station:

I can understand Kyrgyz, but of course, I think I only grasp around 40%. That's it. If you spend more time immersed in the language environment, your comprehension rate will improve.

Peskov added:

All linguistic systems and root words of Kyrgyz are essentially the same as those of Turkish, and I am very familiar with Turkish.
