Kremlin Spokesman's Son Joins Wagner Mercenaries in Ukraine

Nikolai Peskov, the son of Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, has claimed that he fought with Russia's Wagner mercenaries in Ukraine. Peskov senior confirmed that his son had participated in what Moscow calls its "special military operation" in Ukraine. Peskov junior credited his father for "helping" him get in touch with Wagner. Peskov's son claimed to have entered Wagner's ranks under an assumed name to avoid being recognized. Peskov prompted widespread derision last year when he claimed an exemption from the draft.
