The pardon of prisoners participating in the “Special Military Operation” takes place in accordance with Russian legislation.
This was announced to reporters by the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov. He was asked to comment on the statements of the founder of the Wagner PMC Evgeny Prigozhin on the pardon of the head of state concluded under the contract.
“I can’t say anything about the presidential decrees about pardon. You know that there are decrees open and there are decrees with various secrecy stamps. Therefore, I can’t talk about decrees. But I really can confirm, that the entire pardon procedure in relation to prisoners is carried out in strict accordance with Russian law, ”said the Kremlin spokesman.
