MOSCOW (Sputnik) — An information attack on Russian President Vladimir Putin and his friends and family is set to be launched in several countries in the upcoming days, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday.

"These actions continue. Another [media] attack, claiming to be objective and [at the same time] sensational, is prepared for publication in the upcoming days. We have received quite impertinent requests, composed in a way reminiscent of an interrogation process, from an organization that calls itself an international consortium of investigative journalists, comprised of reporters from various media sources. But we are certain that these are not only journalists, but also representatives of other organizations and services," Peskov told reporters.

The spokesman added that the efficiency of these attacks would not be high, although the scheme had been successfully employed several times.

"They plan to publish another series of fibs in Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Russia and some other countries," he added, noting that Russia has the legal means to defend the president's dignity, both nationally and internationally.

According to Peskov, the Kremlin respects quality investigative journalism, but poorly grades biased reports and media war.

The media reports within this "media attack" on the Russian leader would include the information about Putin's net worth, close ties with Russian businesspeople, corrupt activities and reckless behavior when he was young, according to Peskov.
